A Barren County man charged with the murder of his brother and sister-in-law will not go to trial soon.
Cody N. Bacon, 22, of Glasgow, was charged with two counts of murder and wanton endangerment on September 2, 2021, after he allegedly shot his brother and sister-in-law.
Bacon called 911 on himself and alerted authorities that he had shot the two at a home along North Race Street.
Officers later found 24 year-old David A. Pace and 22 year-old Brittany R. Pace dead inside the house.
Candace Hill, the attorney representing Bacon, requested a motion to continue the case that was set to go to trial on August 15. Hill said she needed more time to evaluate and investigate the case to prepare for a trial.
The motion, approved Monday, essentially cleared the case from the court’s docket.
Commonwealth’s Attorney John Gardner is seeking the death penalty for Bacon.
The court records said his office did not object to the continuance in the case.
A discovery conference is scheduled for Monday, May 22 at 1 p.m. A later pre-trial conference is also scheduled for Monday, June 26 at 1 p.m.
