Castle’s Trial Date and Location Tentatively Set

The trial of a man who is facing multiple charges connected to the kidnapping of a 7 year old girl has tentatively been scheduled in Hardin County Common Pleas Court.

According to Court records, 57 year old Charles Castle will stand trial starting July 11 on one count of aggravated attempted murder, one count of rape, 6 counts of kidnapping, three counts of tampering with evidence and one count each of endangering children, felonious assault, burglary and possessing criminal tools.

The trial is scheduled to last two weeks.

The venue and dates for the trial could still change however since Judge Scott Barrett has still not ruled on a change of venue motion filed by Castle’s defense attorney.

He took the motion under advisement after a hearing was held Tuesday.
