Last week a pre-trial conference was held for Randolph Sanders, the man accused of shooting his lesbian coworker this past winter.
Sanders is charged with murder and weapons charges in the Jan. 13 shooting of Kim Jones at 12th and Jefferson streets in North Philadelphia. Jones, 56, was waiting for a SEPTA bus to her job at Turning Points for Children; Sanders was a coworker there and investigators say he killed Jones because she suspected him of stealing from the organization.
At the proceeding, assistant district attorney Mark Levenberg shared the prosecution’s evidence against Sanders with the defense team, as is expected during the discovery-exchange phase of the trial. Defense attorney Michael Coard requested time for further investigation of the evidence.
At the April 1 hearing, Common Pleas Judge Benjamin Lerner scheduled Sanders for another pre-trial conference at 9 a.m. May 6 at the Criminal Justice Center, 1301 Filbert St.
