Prosecutors are ready to sprint to the courthouse when a courtroom becomes available for a murder trial. 63-year-old Glen Stevenson is accused of killing 46-year-old Salvador Robago on September 1st of last year at a home on Radio Lane. Rabago had been impaled through the chest by a crossbow bolt. He was pronounced dead after arriving at a hospital. Stevenson has a lengthy criminal record involving drugs and guns and was already on probation for being a felon in possession of a gun. In mid-October he was offered a deal that would have him plead to second degree murder. He turned it down and is charged with first degree murder with enhancements, facing a possible life sentence. Stevenson did not waive his right to a speedy trial, and his case was dismissed in January because a courtroom was not available. The case was immediately refiled and Stevenson was arraigned again. It’s now on a one hour standby to begin immediately when possible.
