A possible jury trial start date has been announced in a Lyon County attempted murder case from this past fall.
As part of a pretrial and arraignment hearing Thursday, Judge Lee Fowler set July 17 as the start of trial in the case of Logan Casteel. Trial could last that entire week. A motions hearing is set for April 21.
Casteel is accused of attempted first-degree murder, with an alternate count of aggravated battery, after allegedly shooting Justin Smith at 625 Road 160 just southwest of Emporia in mid-October.
