| Hutchinson is directed to back to jail by Sheriff Wayne Agent after arraignment this morning in Crittenden District Court. |
Cindy Lou Hutchinson, 50, of Marion entered a not guilty plea and a preliminary hearing was scheduled by Judge Daniel Heady for Wednesday, Sept. 5. Hutchinson was appointed a public defender.
Police reports filed in support of the murder charge against Hutchinson allege that Roberts, an elderly widower, struggled to save his life as she beat, stabbed and then strangled him to death at his East Depot Street home.
In addition to murder, Kentucky State Police have charged Hutchinson with first-degree robbery, first-degree burglary, tampering with physical evidence and receiving stolen property (less than $10,000) in connection with Roberts’ death.
She remains lodged in Crittenden County Detention Center under a $1 million bond.
