BENTON – A trial for a southern Illinois man accused of dousing his girlfriend with chemicals and setting her on fire has been pushed back into next year.

The Franklin County trial for 28-year-old Christopher Rollins of West Frankfort was to have gotten under way next month. But a judge has postponed the trial until Feb. 5.

Rollins has pleaded not guilty to charges of a count of aggravated battery.
