MURBARGER PLEADS IN COURT

court-5

Accused murderer 24 year old Brody Murbarger waived formal arraignment Tuesday in an appearance in Wayne County Circuit Court. He plead not guilty to all the counts brought against him including murder by a Wayne County grand jury earlier this month. Those charges stem from the death and disappearance of Megan Nichols in 2014. After the not guilty pleas were entered, the defense then asked for a trial by jury on or before February 4th of 2021. Presiding Judge Michael Molt did not set a trial date indicating that that would be dictated by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Murbarger is to next appear in court on Tuesday November 24th. After the arraignment, he was remanded back into custody.
