Judge weighs gun link in Lawrence County homicide case
A Lawrence County judge heard arguments on whether a gun allegedly used in a double homicide is the same firearm reported stolen from a man's car in 2016. Defense attorney Thomas N. Farrell seeks to drop the firearms charge and separate it from other counts as Caden Popovich, 21, faces staged proceedings alongside co defendant Dohnavin Miller for the Feb. 26, 2018 killings of Cameron Martwinski and Justin Luca. The hearing, presided by Judge J. Craig Cox, featured testimony from a gun theft victim presented by Deputy Attorney Patrick Schulte.
