 On
Oct. 1, Christopher Harris was arrested on
the same charges in a case that has shocked
the community, not only because of the
nature of the crimes but also because of
those allegedly involved.
Jason Harris was denied
bond and had a preliminary hearing date of
Oct. 13 set by Judge Thomas M. Harris.
Attorney Steve Skelton of
Bloomington has been temporarily appointed
as his public defender.
Jason Harris' girlfriend,
Jennifer Earnest of Armington, was charged
with one count of obstructing justice. Her
bond was set at $50,000.
Lincoln attorney Jim
Grimaldi will be representing Earnest.
Grimaldi said he would not comment on the
case at this time.
Logan County State's
Attorney Michael McIntosh has asked the
Illinois attorney general's office to assist
with the prosecution of this case. He said
that all further inquiries regarding the
court proceedings in this matter should be
directed to the Illinois attorney general's
press office at 312-814-3118.
