Murder trial delayed in Johnson City 2-year-old's accidental shooting


Published November 3rd, 2009 | 0 Comments


 

A man charged with his son’s death after the toddler found a pistol and shot himself must be sentenced in federal court for possessing the weapon before a murder charge can go forward.

Christopher Alan Mitchell, 26, is charged with first-degree murder, tampering with evidence and criminal impersonation.

His preliminary hearing scheduled in Washington County General Sessions Court on Monday was delayed until next year because of the pending federal case. He remains in federal custody until his sentencing in March on a charge of felony possession of a firearm — a .25-caliber semi-automatic pistol — which stemmed from the Jan. 11 incident that killed his 2-year-old son, Jacob Mitchell.
