Original Story:

There was another delay in court for former Missouri Tiger running back Derrick Washington.

Washington was scheduled to appear in court on Friday afternoon for the first of 2 criminal cases that led to his dismissal from the team one year ago.

Defense Attorney Chris Slusher was scolded by a judge for the delays in the case.

Prosecutors charged Washington with 2 counts of misdemeanor domestic violence after an ex-girlfriend said he poked her eyes and choked her during an argument last September.

Washington also faces another trial later this month on a felony sexual assault charge involving a former Missouri athletics tutor.

A pre-trial hearing in that case is set for Monday.

The one-time Tiger co-captain has pleaded not guilty in both cases.

Both of his trials have been repeatedly delayed.
