Chief Assistant State Attorney Georgia Cappleman added that Garcia’s defence team said they were not ready to go to trial. Sigfredo Garcia was set to stand trial in November for the death of Dan Markel, a law professor at Florida State University who was born in Toronto. The trial of a man accused in the murder of a prominent Canadian legal scholar in Florida has been postponed after his co-accused pleaded guilty and told investigators the killing was a murder-for-hire rooted in a bitter child custody dispute. Rivera also told investigators that he waited in a car while Garcia shot Markel. “I thought we were going to come up here to rob somebody,” he told investigators.
