Ward's trial is scheduled to begin on Monday, according to online records.

Ward's previous murder conviction for the 2009 death of his wife, Diane Ward, was overturned by an appeals court in 2016. 

Ward's attorneys filed a motion earlier this week to release defense evidence from his prior trial.
