Accused killer of Hailey Woods served with wrongful death lawsuit

Springfield Pleasant View School Coach Craig Michael Wood, accused of the murder of 10-year-old Hailey Owens, was served with a lawsuit today at the Greene County Jail, according to online court records.

Wood is being sued by Hailey Woods' parents, Stacey Barfield and Marcus Owens, for her wrongful death.

Wood has been charged with first degree murder, child kidnapping, and armed criminal action in connection with Miss Owens' February 18 murder.

A March 26 hearing is scheduled on the request by Wood's new lawyer, Patrick Berrigan, to allow his client to wear street clothes and not to have shackles at future hearings.
