(Karen Madden, Marshfield News-Herald) A 60-year-old Marshfield man pled not guilty June 25 to charges related to killing a woman and trying to cut off her head.

According to KAren Madden with the Marshfield News-Herald, Cyril J. Granahan pleaded not guilty to first-degree reckless homicide, physical abuse of an elder person and disorderly conduct involving an elder person.

Granahan's attorney, Amanda Skorr, waived his right to a preliminary hearing. A preliminary hearing is when prosecutors must show there is enough evidence to prove a crime was probably committed and the defendant probably did it.

After the hearing was waived, Wood County Circuit Judge Timothy Gebert found there was enough evidence for the case to move forward.
