ALTAMONT, Tenn. (WDEF) – A Grundy County man is a step closer to being released from state prison for a 2005 murder.
Adam Braseel was convicted for the beating and robbery of Malcom Burrows ten years ago.
But, just in time for Christmas, a judge granted him a new trial.
Today Braseel was back in court asking to be released on bond while he waits for his trial.
The Grundy County Herald reports that the judge lowered his bond to $50,000, which his family says he will make.
As of Friday afternoon, he was still in custody at the Riverbend Maximum Security Facility in Nashville, waiting for the bond to be clear.
