A Criminal Court judge said Wednesday he will not prevent uniformed Washington County sheriff’s deputies from attending the trial of three people accused of trying to kill an officer, but said there should not be an overt display that could intimidate a jury or the defendants.
Judge Jon Kerry Blackwood ruled on the motion filed by one of the attorneys in July.
The defendants, Dalvin Stephens, 18, of Johnson City; Reginald Dewayne Smith, 41, 1419 Colony Park Drive; and Ashley Nicole McGraw, 18, 127 Forest Hills Drive, are charged with attempted first-degree murder and attempted aggravated robbery.
