Court Hearing Postponed For Tulsa Teen Charged With Murder, Rape

Both sides were expected to share evidence in a discovery hearing for Tulsa teen Deonte Green Monday, but it was postponed until January 23. Green faces more than 20 felony charges.

Deonte Green's charges include first-degree murder, first-degree rape and kidnapping.

Prosecutors say Green committed numerous crimes in October of 2017.

More Charges Filed Against Teen Accused Of Killing BA Teacher, Raping Elderly Woman

Multiple witnesses have testified that they they saw Deonte Green commit those crimes, including an 81-year-old woman who says Green raped her. And the wife of a Broken Arrow school teacher says Green killed her husband.

The defense argues that the witnesses may not have been able to see Green's face clearly since he was wearing a hoodie.

According to court documents, Green's jury trial is set for April 2019.
