A high profile trial was to begin in Calgary this week, but the case of Jeremy Steinke has been delayed.

Steinke is accused of murdering a Medicine Hat couple and their 8-year-old son.

Their bodies were found in their home in April of 2006.

Jury selection was supposed to start on Friday, but it will now happen on November 17th.

That's because the lead prosecutor, Stephanie Cleary, has been appointed to be a Provincial Court judge.

Her assistant, Ramona Robbins, will now take over the case.

Cleary and Robbins have already successfully tried Steinke's then 12-year-old girlfriend, and co-accused, in the murder of her family.

She is serving the maximum sentence of 10 years.
