A hearing for a man accused of murder in Clinton County has been cancelled, as officials wait for the State Supreme Court to appoint a new judge.
Adam Baker is charged with Second Degree Murder and Armed Criminal Action in connection with the shooting death of his wife last month. Authorities found Holly Baker dead in the couple’s home February 25. Baker was charged the same day.
The following day, Clinton County Associate Circuit Judge Teresa Bingham recused herself from hearing the case. That left it up to the Missouri State Supreme Court to appoint another judge, which has not yet happened.
A scheduling hearing scheduled Wednesday has been cancelled. On Wednesday, attorney Brian J. Klopfenstein of Kearney entered his appearance to represent Mr. Baker.
The defendant remains behind bars in lieu of $75,000 bond.
