Only one of the six defendants scheduled to go to trial Monday for their involvement in a 2015 riot at Lemon Creek Correctional Center will actually face a jury next week. Eight men were originally charged with felony rioting and criminal mischief in connection with the incident on Oct, 5, 2015, which reportedly caused thousands of dollars in damage but no injuries. Two have taken plea agreements; two face bench warrants after failing to appear for a hearing Tuesday, and three have opted to take a continuance until July. The attorney for Justin F. Thomerson requested a continuance from Juneau Superior Court Judge Philip Pallenberg Tuesday due to a medical issue, which was granted over the objections of Assistant District Attorney Amy Paige. Co-defendants Tommie Snyder and Dalton Nierstheimer agreed to waive their right to a speedy trial, and a separate trial for the trio was tentatively set to start July 31; a pre-trial conference was scheduled for July 24.
