What happens next

Murder and first-degree burglary are both Class A felonies under Alabama law. Felony cases in Mobile County typically begin in district court, where a defendant may request a preliminary hearing on whether there is probable cause for the charges. A grand jury then decides whether to return an indictment, which sends the case to circuit court for trial.
