Jeremy Penix II
(KMZA)--The arraignment hearing for one of two men charged in the death of an elderly Vermillion man has been postponed again.
The hearing for Jeremy Penix II, of Melvern, was continued last week in Marshall County District Court to August 3.
Penix is charged with first-degree murder and five other counts in the death of 83-year-old Donald McLaughlin, whose body was located inside the ruins of his burned out home in January 2020.
Besides the murder charge, Penix is also charged with conspiracy, aggravated robbery, aggravated burglary, arson and interference with a law enforcement officer.
Co-defendent, Jefferson Goad, of Waverly, recently pleaded not guilty to the same charges and a jury trial was set for November 8.
Penix remains in the Washington County Jail and Goad in the Marshall County Jail.
