The preliminary hearing for a man accused of killing a pair of Elkhorn newlyweds was waived in Walworth County Court Tuesday afternoon, allowing the case to proceed to trial more quickly.
He appeared in person at the hearing, while his attorney Russell Jones attended via Zoom. Jones told the court that they are ready to enter their plea, but the state asked for two additional weeks to prepare.
Arraignment was scheduled for March 8 at 1:15 p.m.
Routt has been in custody since February 5th.
