Leon Grimes, the man charged with murder in the 2021 shooting death of Calvin Buckner, is still set to go to trial on July 31.
Grimes appeared in Christian Circuit Court Wednesday afternoon alongside defense attorney Ted Shouse, who asked for clarification on jury selection and what the questionnaire they receive will contain and when a jury will be seated.
A final pretrial hearing was set for July 12.
Grimes is alleged to have shot Calvin Buckner in the chest at a party on Hazel Street in July of 2021, and Shouse informed the court Wednesday that he does intend to argue self-defense at trial.
