Daniel Maddock
A preliminary hearing will be scheduled next week for a St Joseph man charged with manslaughter for the death of his passenger in a crash in January.
Richard Osborne was a passenger in a vehicle driven by Daniel Maddock, who police say ran a stop sign at 12th and Church streets January 3. The vehicle struck a Toyota driven by Adindi Okemba of Kansas City. Osborne was killed in the crash. Mr Maddock suffered serious injuries in the crash. Mr Okemba was taken to the hospital as well.
Maddock was arrested on Friday. During a hearing Tuesday Judge Keith Marquart scheduled a preliminary hearing docket call July 24, and was asked to lower Maddock’s bail. Instead Judge Marquart raised it to $60,000. Officials told the judge that the defendant moved out of the area to avoid prosecution.
Courthouse officials say Mr Maddock has paid part of a retainer fee for an attorney in the case, but not all of it, and thus it’s not clear if Mr Maddock has legal representation. By Tuesday afternoon, there had been no notice to the court of a formal appearance by the lawyer.
Maddock is charged with one Class-C felony count of vehicular involuntary manslaughter involving intoxication.
