Thomas Gregory White, the 15-year-old charged in connection with the October 2006 shooting incident at Memorial Middle School, will be wearing Jasper County Jail clothing to all court appearances except his trial.
In a decision handed down Thursday, Jasper County Associate Circuit Court Judge David Mouton overruled public defender Brett Meeker's motion to allow the teenager to wear his personal clothing at all court appearances. The exception, Mouton said, would be at trial.
No decision is listed on court records on Meeker's request that Mouton reconsider his decision to allow television cameras in the courtroom at all hearings.
White was a 13-year-old seventh grader at Memorial when he took an assault rifle to the school, fired the weapon into the ceiling and then pointed it at Principal Steve Gilbreth. White allegedly then tried to fire the weapon at Gilbreth, but it jammed.
White is charged with two counts of assault, and single counts of unlawful use of a weapon, armed criminal action, and attempted escape.
