Springfield coach bound over on charge of raping, murdering 10-year-old girl
This report from KOLR's Lindsey Clein includes video, but no audio from former Pleasant Hill Middle School Coach Craig Michael Wood's since the judge would not allow it. Ms. Clein does an excellent job of describing the emotional and graphic testimony from the hearing. Wood is charged with first degree murder, kidnapping, armed criminal action, rape, and sodomy in connection with the February 18 death of 10-year-old Hailey Owens of Springfield. Wood will be arraigned 8:30 a.m. June 20, in Greene County Circuit Court.

Preliminary hearing for coach accused of murdering Hailey Owens postponed indefinitely
A second change of judge was granted Monday in the first degree murder case against Springfield Pleasant View Coach Craig Michael Wood, causing a delay in his scheduled April 23 preliminary hearing.
The preliminary hearing for Wood, who is charged with first degree murder, kidnapping, and armed criminal action in connection with the February 18 death of 10-year-old Hailey Owens of Springfield, had already been pushed back from March 19 to April 7 before the first change of judge was granted.
The first change of judge came at the request of Wood's lawyer, public defender Christopher Shane Hatley. The second was requested by the prosecution, according to online court records.

Craig Michael Wood's first hearing postponed indefinitely, change of judge granted
The first hearing for Springfield Pleasant View Coach Craig Michael Wood in the Hailey Owens murder case has been postponed indefinitely after Wood's public defender asked for and was granted a change of judge.
The hearing for Wood, who is charged with first degree murder, kidnapping, and armed criminal action in connection with the February 18 death of 10-year-old Hailey Woods, had already been pushed back from March 19 to April 7 before the change of judge was granted.
Wood's hearing will now be held before Judge Jason Brown, according to court records.
The records indicate that public defender Christopher Shane Hatley is still defending Wood, a point of contention with the Greene County Prosecuting Attorney's office, which noted that Wood has a $1 million trust fund.
