For the second time in less than a week, capital murder suspect Eric Buzbee wore a bullet-proof vest as deputies led into the Baldwin County Courthouse. Buzbee was indicted last week on two counts of capital murder in the death of Spanish Fort businessman Bobby Wilson. Today during his arraignment, Buzbee plead not guilty.
"Eric absolutely maintains his innocence," says Buzbee's attorney John Beck. "You heard him in open court today tell the entire world that he did not do this."
"The case will be presented to a jury," says Baldwin County District Attorney Judy Newcomb. "From here, the judge will be entering scheduling orders and motions will be heard then we'll go to trial."
Buzbee's attorney also filed nine motions during the arraignment today, including "re-filing" the motion to suppress evidence collected in the search of Buzbee's home last year.
