Monday, June 1st, 2009 -- 11:27 AM
It?s ?take 2? in the Tyler Meier case today.38-year-old Tyler Meier is charged with Felony Murder ? Battery. Prosecutors allege he punched 43-year-old Keith Young at the Brickyard Bar and Grill on February 1st. Young fell, apparently hitting his head. He was hospitalized in critical condition from shortly after the assault, to the time of his death on Tuesday, February 3.
A preliminary hearing was to be held last month, but Wood Co. Judge James Mason, who has taken the case as a substitute judge, failed to show up for the hearing.
Preliminary hearings are mini-trials in which a judge determines if there?s probable cause to bind a case over for trial.
