Results for: Double Homicide

A Genesee County Circuit Court judge has rejected a defendant’s claim that his right to a speedy trial was violated in a double homicide case. Reggie Lay, 40, has been charged with 14 counts, including two counts of first-degree premeditated murder in connection with the 2019 deaths of Nolan Michael Thomas and Nicholas Scott Collins. Lay had argued that he had been jailed and awaiting trial for nearly five years, violating his constitutional rights. However, the judge ruled against Lay’s motion to dismiss the case.

The lawyer for Beau Lamarre-Condon, a former NSW Police officer charged with murdering Jesse Baird and Luke Davies, has suggested that the charges may be defensible. Lamarre-Condon is accused of using his police-issued pistol to shoot Baird and Davies at Baird’s home in February. Despite refusing to reveal the location of the bodies for several days after his arrest, Lamarre-Condon later cooperated with investigators, leading to the discovery of the victims in surfboard bags near Bungonia. The lawyer, John Walford, stated that he had received only part of the police evidence and declined to provide details on how he would defend his client, hinting that mental health issues may be involved. The case is scheduled for further proceedings in June.
