The Danbury teen who was arrested in December for stabbing and killing another teen will be in court August 19.
Emanuel Harris
Emanuel Harris, 18, will comply with the state court and have DNA evidence taken from him at his next pretrial hearing.
According to Harris’s attorney, Dante Gallucci, the state will try to match the DNA to that found at the scene of the stabbing.
Gallucci will also ask the court for a bond reduction, Harris is now being held on a $1 million bond due the serious nature of the crime. Gallucci hopes to lower that, claiming that Harris has large ties to the community and is not a flight risk.
Harris is facing one count of murder and first-degree assault for the stabbing of Luan Pitol, 19. He has led not guilty to both charges.
