Judge Rowe accepted the defendant’s waiver of a preliminary hearing and stipulation to charges in petition to revoke bond. The defendant may remain on present bond with added condition of Home Confinement.

The matter is set for a status conference November 16.

Price requested three to four weeks in order to receive lab work. Defense counsel E.L. Morgan, Jr. explained that the defendant is participating in a Suboxin Program and would be finished in three months. Morgan asked that the matter be set for trial at the beginning of 2013.

The trial is set for January 22, 2013 and the defendant remains on bond.

State vs. Timothy McGinn. Defense counsel Morgan said the defendant and his family have a financial burden and requested he be released from Home Confinement. Price said the defendant has done well in the program and she had no objections.
