Defense Attorney Objects to Delay in Amber Spradlin Trial
The attorney for the man accused of killing Amber Spradlin is objecting to a delay in the upcoming trial.
Amber Spradlin's body was found on June 18, 2023, at the Arkansas Creek home of Prestonsburg dentist Michael McKinney, who is charged with her murder.
Commonwealth's Attorney Brent Turner requested a postponement of the December 1 trial, citing the need for more time to complete DNA testing at the state crime lab.
However, defense attorney Steven Romines has filed an objection, stating that prosecutors have called their case strong enough to justify a $5 million bond and that it's now time to let a jury decide.
A hearing is set for Thursday, and Mountain Top News will be in court, livestreaming the proceedings.
