A 68-year-old Boonville woman’s jury trial has been postponed. The woman was the driver who allegedly was involved in a fatal crash in Cooper County on June 14, 2020, and is facing a felony charge.

According to a report from the Missouri State Highway Patrol, a motorcycle, driven by 59-year-old James Brandl, of Boonville, was traveling northwest on Missouri Highway 87 when it was struck by a northwest bound SUV, driven by Karen Lynn Gately. Brandl died from his injuries. Gately was not injured.

Court documents say Gately is charged with a felony for involuntary manslaughter in the first degree. Gately, who posted 10 percent of the $10,000 bond on September 9, 2020, pleaded not guilty on April 12.

Her jury trial that was scheduled to begin on Wednesday, December 1, has been delayed until May 12, 2022. A pre-trial conference is scheduled for 9 a.m. on April 25, 2022, at Cooper County Circuit Court.
