SAN FRANCISCO – A new hearing date was set Wednesday to give attorneys more time to review evidence in the slaying of a Maine filmmaker who was robbed and shot to death two years ago.

The district attorney’s spokesman, Fred Gardner, said the new hearing was scheduled for Oct. 11.

“Everything was put off because there are still thousands of pages of discovery, and tapes to be reviewed,” Gardner said.

He said that on Oct. 11, prosecutors would either set a date for trial or request further time to prepare the case.

In April 1999, Shayne Worcester, 29, of Portland had just finished dinner at a restaurant in the city’s Russian Hill district. He and a friend were walking when two men, one with a gun drawn, began chasing them.

The men caught Worcester, who grew up in Southwest Harbor and demanded his money. He gave them his wallet and what cash he had, but the man standing over him still fired twice, hitting him in the head and the stomach.

The alleged trigger man, Daniel “Milo” Morring, 21, as well as Tremain Collier, 30, and Santese Edwards, 23, all pleaded innocent in May.
