A request for a bond reduction was once again denied Wednesday in Christian Circuit Court for complicity to murder suspect Tyron Holt, as he awaits a new trial date.
Holt—who is charged in connection with the death of Gailon Toler in Oak Grove—appeared alongside public defender Monroe Graham and argued in court that since his charge was amended from murder to complicity to murder, he has already proven he wasn’t the shooter in this case, and there’s no evidence he intentionally committed any crime.
Judge Andrew Self denied the motion and then asked when they should set a trial date for—but Commonwealth’s Attorney Stephanie Bolen says she’s not sure she’ll be handling the case yet or if it will need a special prosecutor.
Judge Self set a pretrial hearing for March 22 to give her more time to gather information, with the intent to set a new trial date at that time.
Toler was shot multiple times at the steps and entryway of a Tyler Street mobile home in May of this year. Toler was pronounced dead at the scene by the Christian County Coroner’s Office.
