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.

Petition launched to make child kidnapping/murder federal offense punishable by death
One week after the kidnapping and murder of 10-year-old Hailey Owens of Springfield, a petition has been launched to make kidnapping and murdering a child federal offense punishable by death.
The petition, which is on the White House's "We the People" site, calls for the following:
Enact a Law which makes child abduction and murder a federal crime and instantly punishable by death penalty.
The petition, which is on the White House's "We the People" site, calls for the following:
Enact a Law which makes child abduction and murder a federal crime and instantly punishable by death penalty.
There are too many child abductions and murders every year in this country and I have had enough. We need to make it known that this will not be tolerated and even a first offense of child abduction followed by murder will be punishable by death. A clear message needs to be sent to child abducters, molesters, and murderers. I ask that this be a Federal Crime punishable by death.
One hundred thousand signatures are needed by March 21. At the time of this writing, the petition has 893 signatures.
