Benjamin Carter case close to resolution

The disposition/hearing for Benjamin Carter, the suspect charged with the murder of Zachary Chapman was continued until this afternoon. Carter's defense attorney is Michael Acosta. DDA Luke Brownfield has been prosecuting this case but at the last hearing he mentioned "a possible change in counsel."

Jury trial dates were expected to be set today. Instead, Mr. Acosta told Judge John Feeney that he had spoken to Mr. Brownfield before court and the case is close to resolution.

The new disposition/reset date is January 28 at 2 p.m. in Courtroom 1.

No other media was present when this case was called. Carter's sister-in-law who testified for the prosecution was in the courtroom with other family members when the case was called.
