SUMMARY: A motion to lower the bond for Michael MK McKenny III, a defendant in the Amber Spradlin murder case, has been denied, keeping his bond at $5 million. During a Floyd County court hearing last week, the judge deemed the bond not excessive. McKenny III is charged with murder for allegedly stabbing Spradlin to death, while his father, Michael McKenny II, and Josh Mullins face charges of evidence tampering. All three defendants are scheduled to appear in court on February 27th, but no trial date has been determined, attributed to an extensive discovery process.

A bond reduction request for the man accused of Amber Spradlin’s stabbing death has been denied.
