A Marshall man accused of murdering a Slater resident last year has a jury trial set for later this month. Prior to that, a pre-trial conference is scheduled for early next week.
According to online court documents, 31-year-old Adam McAlister is facing a Class A Felony for Second-Degree Murder and an Unclassified Felony for Armed Criminal Action for allegedly killing 31-year-old Lance Gibson on March 9, 2018.
McAlister entered a plea of not guilty in June.
Bond has been set at $500,000 cash only, and two motions made by McAlister’s attorney to have his bond reduced have been denied by the court.
The pre-trial conference is scheduled for 2 p.m. Monday, March 11. McAlister’s jury trial is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. Tuesday, March 26, at Saline County Circuit Court.
