The Columbian reports the trial's delay, approved Monday morning, will allow more time for Taylor Smith attorneys to negotiate with prosecutors over the case.

Smith, 18, is accused of pushing Jordan Holgerson, 16, off the bridge at Moulton Falls Regional Park after Holgerson planned to voluntarily jump off but hesitated.

Smith has entered a not guilty plea to the charge of reckless endangerment, a gross misdemeanor that carries a maximum penalty of up to a year in jail and a $5,000 fine.
