After discussions of a possible resolution fell through, a trial date was set Wednesday in Todd Circuit Court for the man accused in a July crash that killed a woman on Blue and Gray Park Road.
Billy Jo Faughn of Hopkinsville appeared virtually before Judge Joe Hendricks Wednesday, who set a trial date for March 21 of 2022, saying that the Supreme Court of Kentucky COVID-19 restrictions and other scheduled trials are the reasons for that date.
Commonwealth’s Attorney Neil Kerr informed the court they are still waiting on evidence to come back from the testing lab and are still working to secure an expert that can examine the vehicle involved in the incident. Another pretrial hearing was set for May 5.
