It was very stressful. It took me nine months, six days.

An attorney for the president of a longtime Chattanooga grave marker company indicted on theft charges was granted Thursday a delay in the case for about a month.

Attorney Ben McGowan, representing Trent Daniel Wichman, said in Hamilton County Criminal Court that pending discovery in the case has been hindered by technical issues.

Criminal Court Judge Barry Steelman set a new court date of Oct. 30.

Wichman, who headed Wichman Monuments on Brainerd Road, was at the hearing but did not address the court. He also declined comment after the brief hearing.
