Trial Delayed For Fort Campbell Soldier

{Fort Campbell, Kentucky}...A court martial has been delayed for Sgt. Brent Burke, a Fort Campbell soldier charged with violating the Uniform Code of Military Justice in the deaths of his estranged wife, Tracy Burke, and her former mother-in-law Karen Comer, at a home in Rineyville in September 2007. A military judge granted a request by prosecutors and Burke's lawyers to postpone the proceedings, which were scheduled to begin Monday at Fort Campbell. Burke is also a defendant in a wrongful death lawsuit brought by Tracy Burke's family.
