Judge Denies Request For New Attorney

{St. Albans, West Virginia}...Garland Murray, 27, of St. Albans, is scheduled for trial on January 30th after being accused of shooting to death Gregory Poole, 31, of Woodward Drive on April 21, 2010, and attempting to kidnap Poole's wife, Ebony. His trial was originally scheduled for October 2010. Murray, who is currently housed at Huttonsville Correctional Center, says Tom Price and Tim Carrico, his third and fourth court-appointed public defenders, are not paying enough attention to his case. Circuit Judge Charles King has denied Murray's request for a change in attorneys, but Judge King ordered that Murray be moved to Charleston to help prepare for his upcoming trial.
