A central Kentucky judge has scheduled a trial for a former pastor accused of killing three people in a Danville pawn shop.
Boyle County Circuit Judge Darren Peckler on Tuesday (3/7) set the trial for 51 year-old Kenneth Allen Keith for August 10. Keith has pleaded not guilty to murder in the 2013 deaths of 35 year-old Michael Hockensmith and his 38 year-old wife, Angela, both of Stanford; and 60 year-old gold broker Daniel Smith of Richmond.
If convicted, Keith could face the death penalty.
Peckler last week denied a defense motion seeking to suppress evidence gathered as a result of search warrants. The defense said the search warrants relied on false or misleading statements, but Peckler wrote that he didn’t find evidence that police acted in bad faith or unreasonably.
