Billy Craig Murder Trial Scheduled for Late January Continued

While Judge Tim Chambers took every issue presented by the defense in the case against Billy Craig Jr., under advisement earlier this week, now comes word that the trial itself scheduled to begin in late January has been continued. That according to the judges docket in his office. Judge Tim Chambers telling us no new date has been set for the trial thus far.

Meanwhile, he’s still sifting through the exhibits presented earlier in the week and has yet to issue his written opinion on whether the case will be moved out of Reno County. The defense claims that the media coverage of the murder and the Logsdon trial makes it impossible for Craig to get a fair trial.

Craig is charged for being involved in the murder of Jennifer Heckel on June 14, of last year. He is alleged to have been involved with Charles Christopher Logsdon and went to the home of Heckel and killed her while her young son was in the next room.

Craig is also facing a charge of contempt of court when he refused to testify in the Logsdon trial. No action has been taken on that charge thus far by Judge Trish Rose.
