FITZGERALD, Ga. (WALB) - The two men — one of which was convicted on Wilcox County charges and the other was acquitted of murder in Irwin County — charged in connection to the 2005 death and disappearance of an Irwin County teacher and beauty queen will be back in court Tuesday morning.
The court hearing was for Ryan Duke and Bo Dukes, who were both charged in connection to the death and disappearance of Tara Grinstead. Their attorneys are trying to get the charges in Ben Hill County thrown out, claiming the statute of limitations has run out.
The hearing was in Ben Hill County.
Two witnesses took the stand at the Tuesday hearing.
Gary Rothwell, the former special agent in charge of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation Perry office, was the first witness.

The state argued the statute of limitations passed for murder charges. The defense argued murder is the only charge with no statute of limitations.
Jason Shoudel, the lead GBI agent on the Grinstead case, also took the witness stand.

A decision was not reached at the Tuesday hearing. There will be a continuation of the hearing but a date has not been set yet.
