The local Sixth Judicial District Court had dismissed the case against Daniel J. Colvin, 29, in June of last year, stating his rights to due process had been violated when his defense team was unable to examine a key piece of evidence. The evidence was a Jeep owned by shooting victim Michael Aja, who had been shot by a .38-caliber pistol while in the vehicle, according to court documents.

The Western Sustainability Exchange Livingston Farmers Market starts today, introducing a new coordinator but keeping some of the old traditions.

The new Farmers Market coordinator, Vicki Petry, came on just a few weeks ago after former coordinator Rob Bankston retired last year after 12 years with the market.

Petry said she got the opportunity to work with Bankston and how he operated the market, so she is prepared for opening day.
