The bankruptcy fraud trial for Buffalo County supervisor Richard Pierce and his wife has been delayed again. It was supposed to start today.

A District Court Clerk says the two have waived their right to a jury trial, but are not entering a plea agreement.

A bench triafl is now set for October 23rd.

The couple filed for bankruptcy in 2003.

They're accused of failing to disclose about $160,000 of Janna Pierce's income. The money was from commission on grants that she wrote in 2004 for Buffalo and neighboring counties. But, she didn't submit a bill to Buffalo County until 2010.

Still, the board voted to pay it. Richard Pierce sat on that board.
