ST. GEORGE, Utah (AP) — A St. George man accused in the death of a 20-year-old woman is scheduled to be back in court to enter a plea.
The Spectrum reports 32-year-old Brandon Perry Smith will be arraigned Wednesday. Smith is charged with murder in the death of 20-year-old Jerrica Christensen.
Christensen was killed in a December 2010 altercation at a St. George townhome that also left 27-year-old Brandie Sue Dawn Jerden dead.
Another man, 34-year-old Paul Ashton, pleaded guilty in July to killing Jerden in his home. He's been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
A judge ruled last month there was sufficient evidence to send Smith's case to trial.
