[MajorHoople]

Well Niner, things have changed. It looks like there will be no trial on 2023-05-30. Is this just just another delay or perhaps they have worked out a plea deal? A plea wouldn't surprise me.

I'll check again a few days before 2023-05-30 and let you know.

Okay @MajorHoople - I have changed my notes!

Yes, hopefully a plea deal!

Looks Michael & Shirley has a motions hearing instead of a status hearing on 5/30/23 per the jail site:

Michael:
Court Date Division Court Event Court Role
30-MAY-23 DIVISION 3 STATUS DEFENDANT
30-MAY-23 DIVISION 3 MOTION DEFENDANT


Shirley:
Court Date Division Court Event Court Role
30-MAY-23 DIVISION 3 MOTION DEFENDANT

link: Knox County Tennessee - Sheriff - Inmate Population

I shall go ahead & keep these two on 5/30 for a motions hearing. And wait to see what is going on with Jr.

@MajorHoople - sorry to bother you - but wondering about Jr.'s next court date. And any new trial date set or at least a hearing date?

TIA!

No changes yet. Everything is still the same as my post above.

TN - Michael & Shirley Gray, aggravated kidnap & child abuse, 2 children dead, Roane Co., May 2020

Niner, There's a bit of a change in Knox County. All of them have a STATUS hearing on 2023-04-11.That's the only change I see. Defendant or Violator: MICHAEL GRAY Division: DIVISION 3 Charge: FELONY MURDER, AGG. CHILD ABUSE, AGG. CHILD NEGLECT, ABUSE OF A CORPSE Hearing Type: STATUS Court Date...

I can't help but wonder how this couple supported themselves when and before they adopted these children. Did they suddenly at around age fifty decide to adopt children and live off the subsidies for adopting them? Or, are there more bodies buried somewhere?
