One of two men accused of a fatal shooting at the Valero gas station on East 9th Street appeared for a pretrial conference in Christian Circuit Court Wednesday morning.
21-year old Dalton Hall of Springfield, Tennessee appeared virtually from the jail with his defense attorney Eric Bearden and Commonwealth’s Attorney Rick Boling appearing in the courtroom before Judge John Atkins.
Bearden told Judge Atkins he believes there is a “decent chance” they can resolve the case but stated he also wanted to get a trial date. In addition, he said had filed a bond motion which Judge Atkins denied.

Hall and King remain lodged in the Christian County Jail.
