(Minot, ND) -- A judge has agreed to another continuance in the case against the woman accused of killing Anita Knutson.

Nichole Rice will appear for a pretrial conference June 14th in Minot. Both sides in the case filed a joint request last week to delay the hearing to June due to the amount of evidence.

There have already been multiple continuances in the case. The 36-year-old Rice was arrested in March and faces a felony murder charge in Knutson's 2007 killing.

The two were roommates at the time Knutson was found stabbed to death in her off-campus apartment.
