Dakota Wall Hearing Continued

</element><element id="paragraph-1" type="body"><![CDATA[The court hearing for Dakota Wall scheduled for June 9 continued to July 28 at 9 a.m. due to other commitments for both the prosecution and defense.

Perry County State&#39;s Attorney David Stanton said in a written statement "I expect that an order will be entered today dealing with the home confinement, the ankle bracelet and with a new court date being set."

The order was entered Thursday and no longer requires Wall to wear an ankle bracelet and lifts house arrest. Wall is also ordered to pay $1,096 from her bail bond to the Perry County Sheriff&#39;s Office for the cost of the ankle bracelet.

Along with the motion to continue, the defense counsel Richard Sturgeon filed an affirmative defense and a motion to dismiss.

Wall has been charged with obstruction of justice in relation to the murder of her half-sister, Sidnee Stephens.

Stephens&#39; body was found in the Beacoup Creek in June 2010. Three local teens, Carl Dane, James Glazier and Robbie Mueller have been charged with Stephens&#39; murder. Pre-trial hearings for all three were held at the end of May.

Mueller&#39;s case is set for trial in August.

Dane and Glazier both have status hearings set for June 23. Their trials may also begin in August.
