(NEWTON, Kan.) — Chad Carr's attorney says his client is expected to make a plea Thursday morning in Harvey county. Officials informed Eyewitness News of the hearing Wednesday morning.
The hearing is scheduled for eleven o'clock. The Harvey County Attorney's office says a press conference will follow the hearing. Charlie O'Hara, Carr's attorney, tells Eyewitness News that a plea hearing has been scheduled. We do not know how Carr will plea.
The man is accused of killing Vincent Hill. Hill was 19-months-old when an autopsy showed he died from blunt force trauma and suffocation. Carr is charged with first degree murder.
In March, Carr and prosecutors tried reaching a settlement, but could not reach a deal. Hill's mother, Katheryn Dale, pleaded no contest to abusing and endangering the toddler. She was sentenced to three and a half years in prison.
