Kennedy, 29, was taken into custody following a law enforcement search and was arraigned on June 3 with bruises on his face. He is being held without bail at the Southwest Regional Jail on first-degree murder charges.
At Friday’s hearing, Judge David Justice is scheduled to determine whether the evidence against Kennedy reaches the standard of probable cause and should be sent to Mingo County Circuit Court for grand jury proceedings.
After Maynard’s death, West Virginia Gov. Jim Justice ordered all state and federal buildings in West Virginia to fly flags at half-staff until Wednesday when services were held.
The judge addressed a police officer’s memorial service at the Mingo County high school gymnasium, followed by a 40-mile procession attended by hundreds of law enforcement officers and local residents.
“There’s a lot of evil in this world, and things seem to get worse the further you go,” Justice said. “This is incredibly tragic. We lost a young man with a very young family. And it’s really bad, it’s just plain bad.”
