When Matthew Laurin, 19, Springfield, appears in Jasper County Circuit Court for a hearing a week from today, he will not be wearing Jasper County Jail orange.
Online court records indicate Judge Richard Copeland, who will preside over the hearing for Laurin and his alleged accomplice, Darren Winans, 21, Jasper, made the ruling Tuesday.
Laurin and Winans are charged with two counts of first degree murder, two counts of armed criminal action, and one count of burglary in connection with the Oct. 11, 2008 murders of Bob and Ellen Sheldon, owners of the Old Cabin Shop in Carthage.

Why?
Kudos to Copeland for thinking ahead! He wanted to speed up the process. Laurin may not have time to change back into street clothes AND go commit another felony after Copeland sets him free on probation at his hearing.
