Briana Calderas, of Cabool, is charged with first-degree murder, armed criminal action and abandonment of a corpse. Her trial was recently delayed until May 2019. 

A Cabool woman accused of participating in a murder at her residence will stand trial Feb. 25-March 1 in Pulaski County, a judge decided Tuesday.

Briana Calderas is charged with first-degree murder, armed criminal action and abandonment of a corpse and could face life in prison, if convicted. She is held without bond.

A pre-trial conference is slated for 9 a.m. Dec. 5 in Texas County Circuit Court.

Calderas was among four charged in the September 2017 death of Joseph Steinfeld, 17, who went by Ally and was transitioning to female, according to relatives. Two co-defendants, James Grigsby and Andrew Vrba, are awaiting trial. Another person, Isis Schauer, entered a guilty plea but is seeking to have her 20-year sentence set aside.
