A pre-trial hearing for former Carl Junction R-1 music teacher Craig Smith was held today in Jasper County Circuit Court with new trial dates set.
Smith's trial on stalking and possession of child pornography charges was originally scheduled for April 15, but was postponed after his attorney, Jonathan Pierce, filed a motion for continuance saying the defense's computer expert needed more time to "review large volumes of forensic evidence."
Judge David Mouton scheduled a December 16 trial date with the Smith trial as the number two case set for that date. If the number one case is held as scheduled, Smith's trial will be moved to January 13, 2027 as the first case out. The trial is expected to last three days.
A hearing for pre-trial motions or a change of plea is scheduled for 9 a.m. July 6.
