The Supreme Court of Kentucky has declined to review an appeal of an order denying a motion for bond reduction for the former Fort Campbell Army major charged in connection to the murders of a Pembroke couple and their neighbor.
The appeal was filed by defense attorneys representing Christian Martin, who is being held in the Christian County Jail on a $3 million bond in connection to the fatal shooting of Calvin and Pam Phillips and Ed Dansereau in Pembroke in November 2015. The appeal came after Judge Atkins ruled in May a motion for bond reduction filed by Martin’s attorneys was denied.
The Order Denying Discretionary Review from the Supreme Court of Kentucky states the motion for review of the decision of the Court of Appeals is denied, which was signed on December 9 by Chief Justice John D. Minton, Jr.
