Trial Set In Social Worker Death
WEST VIRGINIA....
May 12th has been set as the new trial date for Stephen Foster Jr. who is charged with kidnapping, assault during the commission of a felony, second-degree sexual assault, murder, concealment of a human body and third-degree arson. Foster Jr. and then girlfriend, Rosemary Forney, were charged with the July 30, 2008, death of Lincoln County social worker Brenda Lee Yeager. Forney, who pleaded guilty to kidnapping and first-degree murder earlier this month, testified she and Foster Jr. both participated in the killing. An April 6th motions hearing is set to allow defense attorneys to argue for a change of venue, claiming publicity garnered from Forney's plea would hurt their case.
