Eric Lively, the suspect charged with the murder of Jesse Earl Simpson has a hearing for further arraignment scheduled this afternoon at 1:29 in Courtroom 1.



He was charged with on one count of murder on May 4. Private attorney Mr. Russ Clanton appeared for him that day.

This morning when I checked, no amended complaint had been filed yet. Arraignment can be continued for other reasons such as confirmation of counsel.

(will update future dates later and if there is anything new.)
