A judge refused to set a trial date this morning for a Northern California woman charged with kidnapping, raping and killing an 8-year-old Tracy girl whose body was found stuffed in a suitcase.

Melissa Huckaby was in San Joaquin County Superior Court in Stockton. The 28-year-old former Sunday school teacher has pleaded not guilty to murdering Sandra Cantu, as well as to charges she drugged two other people.

Prosecutors were pushing for a speedy trial because they say younger witnesses who may testify could have a difficult time recalling specifics in the case. But the defense argued it is too early to set a trial date and the judge agreed.

San Joaquin County prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for Huckaby, who was indicted in July following her arrest in April.
