MS - Julie Brightwell, 52, waitress fatally shot at Waffle House, Biloxi, 27 Nov 2015 *arrest*

Justice Court Judge Albert Fountain kept Mount's bond at $2 million on a first-degree murder charge. He has been locked up since his arrest the morning of the Nov. 27 shooting.

After the hearing, Cox said the restaurant's surveillance cameras captured a clear image of Mount shooting Brightwell in the right side of the head. He said the footage is "one of the most graphic" and "clear" he's ever seen...

When Brightwell saw the gun, records say, she ducked behind the counter, but Mount stood up, leaned over the counter and shot her once in the head.

The man accused of shooting Julie Brightwell in Biloxi is one step closer to trial. It has been seven months since Brightwell was shot to death while working as a waitress at a Waffle House. The suspected shooter, Johnny Mount, was arraigned Monday morning. Mount's plea was not guilty.

Judge Lisa Dodson tried to set a trial date for this November, a year after Brightwell's death. But attorney Davis requested a later date.

"Judge, I just now started collecting records on Mr. Mount. He does have a history that does take some time to get everything acquired," said Davis in his request.

Judge Dodson agreed and set the trial date for February 13th.
