Trial Date: Update

William Jody Byrd was scheduled to stand trial for the 1999 murder of his wife, Desta Dodson Byrd, on October 22, 2012 but that trial date will be continued. We anticipate a new trial date sometime in the Spring of 2013. And although he was originally denied bond, it was later granted by Judge Meigs and thus William Jody Byrd remains free at this time.

We will post trial date information when it becomes available. Until then, please keep Desta's friends, family and loved ones in your thoughts and prayers. We thank you for your continued support!!!
