Judge eyes late summer murder case on docket
Saline County Circuit Court Judge Donald Lowery wants James Montgomery's murder case to go to trial by late August or early September. Montgomery, 38, Creal Springs, faces three counts of first degree murder in Debbie Cain's death near Marion in November 2002. Cain's nude body was found after a beating and strangulation. A high speed chase ended with Montgomery in custody. Flynn plans to seek the death penalty. Montgomery faces possible penalties up to life without parole. A July 10 hearing will set a firm trial date.
