Burglars Going to Court
May Be Facing Jail Time
LOGAN, Utah- A trial date has been set for the two burglars at last weeks break in at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Jim Michaels, 35, has will be going to trial March 21. District Attorney Noel Mayfield stated, “We will be seeking for the maximum jail time possible.” The other burglar is a 15-year-old juvenile whose name is not being released at this time. Judge Ellen Mayfield (no relation to Attorney Mayfield) has not decided whether he will be tried as an adult yet. Both burglars have past records and worked together. The only information given out at this time is that they are acquaintances.
However, Defense Attorney Robbie Cochran believes the evidence is flimsy and that his client Michaels can give an alibi. Michaels has posted his bond of $5,000. Attorney Cochran believes this will be an “interesting trial” with Judge Mayfield for rulings are fairly unpredictable.
