Judge won't reduce Story's bail
NORWICH – A man accused of murdering his friend in Sherburne last month was arraigned for a second time Friday, following a Chenango County grand jury indictment.
Joshua T. Story was arraigned in front of Judge Kevin M. Dowd on second degree murder and fourth degree criminal possession of a weapon charges for his alleged involvement in the shooting death of 24-year-old Kallin Richards of New Berlin.
Following his arraignment, Story’s attorney, Public Defender Alan E. Gordon, made the request that the defendant’s bail be reduced from the $50,000 as originally set.
District Attorney Joseph M. McBride objected to the reduction and said Story should be held without bail, citing him as a possible flight risk.
“This man is a short-term resident of Chenango County and has every reason to flee,” said McBride. Story’s immediate family lives outside the state. The sentence could carry a life-term. Dowd kept the bail set at $50,000.
During the morning hours of Feb. 23, Story and Richards were at Story’s apartment on 33 Classic St. in Sherburne along with other friends. Just after 2:30 a.m., 911 calls reported gun shots in the vicinity of the apartment complex. Police responded to the scene and found Richards dead in his white 2000 Ford Explorer as it rested against a tree.
An autopsy conducted by Dr. James Terzian of Binghamton determined the cause of death to be a single gunshot wound to the torso, damaging the heart and liver.
Lt. James E. Lloyd, who helped make the arrest, testified in Sherburne Village Court that they found Story asleep in his bedroom and discovered the 12-gauge shotgun, believed to be used in the shooting, a few yards away in the bedroom closet.
After a brief interview with investigators at the scene, officers transported Story to the Sheriff’s Office in Norwich.
Lt. Lloyd and Detective Sergeant Richard M. Cobb accompanied Story in the patrol car, where he allegedly confessed to killing Richards.
Story, who has pleaded not guilty to all charges, has been in jail since his arrest Feb. 23.
