Preliminary hearing for man accused of killing his father rescheduled for end of the month


The man who claimed to have killed his father by accident, is scheduled for another court hearing at the end of this month.

The government told the judge Monday, murder suspect Bernard Coleman III had other pending cases and asked that those cases be heard  the same day.

In addition to being charged with second-degree murder while armed for the death of his father Coleman III’s other charges include armed robbery.

The judge denied the government’s request due to a scheduling conflict, but moved the murder case.

Coleman III is being held without bond and due back in court on April 26.
