A bail hearing was held in the Nelson County Juvenile & Domestic Relations
District Court this afternoon for Randy Allen Taylor who is charged with
abduction in connection with the Alexis Murphy case.
Based on the evidence presented by the Commonwealth; and the
defendant’s prior record, Judge A. Ellen White, the presiding judge, denied
Randy Taylor’s request for bond and ordered that he continue to be held
without bail.
After bail was denied, the defendant waived his right to a preliminary
hearing on the felony abduction charge meaning that the case will go
automatically to the Nelson County Circuit Court Grand Jury which meets
September 24, 2013 at 9:30 a.m. The grand jury will decide whether to
indict Taylor for abduction.
