Next Marian Burbine Court Date is March 21

Wife of John Burbine, facing charges for illegal day care, had court date initially set for Wednesday.

A pre-trial conference for Marian Burbine is now set for Thursday, March 21 at Middlesex Superior Court in Woburn.

Mrs. Burbine's latest court date had initially been set for Wednesday, February 13th. She has been under house arrest in Wakefield since late last year, charged with six counts of reckless endangerment of a child and two counts of running an illegal day care business - the former Waterfall Education Center in Wakefield.

Mrs. Burbine's husband, John, has pleaded not guilty to about 100 counts involving the sexual abuse of children who were pupils at the former day care and tutoring business.

The next step in John Burbine's legal case is expected to be an April 13th motion to dismiss, with a tentative trial date set for early December.
