With high-profile criminal cases including an alleged attempted murder, an alleged murder, and other alleged sex crimes upon minors drawing eyes to the felony and misdemeanor courts of southeast Ohio, questions concerning court processes abound in public discussion.
A pretrial hearing was held Tuesday in the Noble County case of Tyler Thompson, 28, of 48569 Outpost Road, Caldwell, who is accused of the murder of his fiancee, Leah Brooke Hines, in March.
Thompson last appeared before Noble County Common Pleas Judge Kelly Riddle on April 20 for a bond and arraignment hearing, but Tuesday, neither Thompson nor his defense counsel appeared in person.
