Linda Frickey murder trial delayed to next year, DA plans to appeal

The horrific murder of Linda Frickey, 73, continues to make headlines more than a year after the deadly carjacking in Mid-City New Orleans.

Three teenagers, John Honore, Briniyah Baker and Mar’Qel Curtis were expected to stand trial on Monday for second-degree murder.

A fourth teen, Lenyra Theophile was also booked in the case, but she was left out of the initial trial after being found incompetent.

Wednesday, Orleans Criminal Court Judge Kimya Holmes reset the start of the trial to March 18, 2024.

Frickey’s loved ones called the 11-month postponement, justice delayed.

“It is very disappointing that it’s so far away,” Frickey’s sister Jinny Lynn Griffin said. “But in my opinion, we fight for the criminals in New Orleans. We don’t fight for the victims.”
