Court schedules sentencing for Michael Turner amid multiple charges and pending investigations

Monroe Circuit Court is set to address several significant cases in its upcoming sessions, following a meeting held on April 17, 2025. One of the key discussions involved the case of Michael Turner, who is scheduled for sentencing on May 15. The court emphasized the importance of a thorough pre-sentence investigation report to ensure a fair outcome, given the complexity of the charges against him.

Additionally, the court is actively pursuing clarification on a related Tennessee charge that could impact Turner’s sentencing. The judge noted that Turner has a substantial history of prior sentences, totaling 12 years, which will be taken into account during the upcoming proceedings.

In another matter, the court addressed the absence of a representative for a motion involving Mr. Bruce Brown. The judge indicated the need for a court order to obtain necessary documentation, highlighting the procedural challenges faced in ensuring all parties are adequately represented and informed.

The session also included the arraignment of David Wood, who faces charges of possession and control of a controlled substance. Wood's attorney confirmed that they would be pursuing a not guilty plea while reserving the right to file pre-trial motions. The next court date for Wood is also set for May.

Overall, the meeting underscored the court's commitment to thoroughness and fairness in handling complex cases, with several important hearings scheduled in the coming weeks that will further shape the legal landscape in Monroe County.
