A motion for continuance has been granted in the case of The State of Texas vs. Lawson Lee Abram.
Previously set for August 29th, the trial has been rescheduled for October 3, 2016.
Defense Attorney, Steve Keathley, previously filed several motions and addressed each one during a special hearing held on Friday, July 29, 2016.
Judge Patrick Simmons put the motion “on hold” until a status hearing held August 23rd where he revisited the issue and decided to grant the continuance.
Abram, along with co-defendants Amber Hope Halford and O’Jarion McClenon, is charged with Capital Murder for his alleged involvement in an incident occurring in March of 2015 that resulted in the death of Teague resident, Douglas Carr Hurst.
Amber Halford’s trial is scheduled for September 19, 2016; and O’Jarion (O.J.) McClenon’s trial is set for October 31, 2016.
