On Oct. 1, Christopher Harris was arrested on the same charges in a case that has shocked the community, not only
because of the nature of the crimes but also because of those
allegedly involved. Jason Harris was denied
bond and had a preliminary hearing date of Oct. 13 set by Judge
Thomas M. Harris.
Attorney Steve Skelton of Bloomington has been
temporarily appointed as his public defender.
Jason Harris' girlfriend, Jennifer Earnest of
Armington, was charged with one count of obstructing justice. Her
bond was set at $50,000.
Lincoln attorney Jim Grimaldi was appointed to represent Earnest. Grimaldi said he would not comment on the case
at this time.
Logan County State's Attorney Michael McIntosh
has asked the Illinois attorney general's office to assist with the
prosecution of this case. He said that all further inquiries
regarding the court proceedings in this matter should be directed to the
Illinois attorney general's press office at 312-814-3118.
