At arraignment proceedings this morning at the Webster County Courthouse, Circuit Judge Jack Alsop set April 23, 2013 as the jury trial date for the couple charged with last year's triple homicide in Hacker Valley.During the arraignment, Amanda York and Michael York both entered not guilty pleas to all counts of the indictments handed down against them last week by the Grand Jury.
Both York's through their attorneys requested that the Court address the issue of bond for their clients (the York's have been held in jail without bond since their arrest on June 27, 2012). Judge Alsop declined to address the request, meaning that the York's will continue to be held without bond until trial. Amanda York is represented by Gassaway lawyer Daniel Grindo and Michael York is represented by Buckhannon lawyer Steven Nanners.
Judge Alsop also set a "discovery schedule," whereby both the State and the defendants may request from the other side such things as discovery of evidence, list of witnesses, and similar matters prior to trial. Nanners also made a motion to hire an expert to examine his client regarding his client's alleged bi-polar condition. The Judge granted that motion. It was not made clear during the court proceedings what purpose that expert and any evaluation performed would have on the case.

A lot of people have alot of disorders. They dont murder innocent human beings because of it. That is more a cruel joke than it is a defense. Do these people realize how many bipolar people walk the streets daily, yet they dont commit murder. The Yorks killed these 3 people, they were arrested for it, what other excuse is needed to get these criminals off the streets.
ReplyDeleteA eye for eye! Really do they think anyone will believe they didn't do it.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion we all know these idiots are crazy and yes they may have bi polar but as above they do not go kill innocent people. no matter what happened these three people did not deserve to die.There should not even be a trial look at the groesome pictures in the evidence and you will find these lunitics guilty
ReplyDeleteWe are thankful that bond was denied and these two will remain in jail until trial date!Praying that justice will be served and they get what they deserve!R.I.P.Dustin Tyler Brown, our sympathy also goes out to the other victims in this triple murder!
ReplyDeleteBi-polar or not , don't give them the right to murder 3 people .They need off the street for good to save them from hurting or killing any one else. I pray the court system does not fail to see that justice is served. They owe that to these hurting families .
ReplyDeletehey, I know they are guilty, you know they are guilty, all the law that investagated the crime knows they are guilty, crap, even my dog knows they are guilty..worst of all their own lawers know they are guilty,personally I think they should receive the same as the yorks receive when its all over.maybe the next lawer will think about it before they defend someone just to make a dollar.
