After a June arraignment

and motion hearing, a fall trial seems likely for the

second suspect in last year's murder of an alleged drug

dealer found in a burned-out sport utility vehicle.

Glen Simon Hamilton faces

11 felony counts, include malice murder and felony

murder, for the April 1 slaying of Adolf Stubbs, whose

body was found in north Fayette County.

Karl Hodge is also in

custody on the same charges, and authorities are hoping

to begin his trial in August. Motion hearings are

scheduled for next month.

Fayette County Superior

Court Judge Ben Miller said he did not want to set a

trial date yet for Hamilton, whose first court appearance

was Tuesday.

As with Hodge, District

Attorney William McBroom stated that he will seek the

death penalty against Hamilton.

Both men were arrested in

May after an investigation that stretched from New York,

where Stubbs lived, to Florida. It is believed that the

victim and both defendants were partners in a drug deal

that turned sour. A third suspect is believed to have

fled to Jamaica.

Miller asked Moore M.O.

Ibekwe, a College Park attorney representing Hamilton,

how long he would need to review discovery materials

before a motion hearing, and Ibekwe gave an estimate of

60 days, saying that he had just received them that day.

McBroom pointed out that

the materials had been available for Ibekwe since

January, and he had never bothered to pick them up.

"We just served them on him today," he said.

Miller scheduled a motion

hearing for June 7, then suggested an arraignment date of

March 10. Ibekwe said he was not comfortable with the

March date, so Miller put both hearings on June 7, with

arraignment at 9 a.m.
