David Bennett Jr. is accused of killing Cami Umbarger and her three
children. He appeared in court through a video feed from the county
jail. During the hearing Bennett wanted to talk about his case, but Labette County District Judge Robert Fleming warned him against making statements in court that could affect his case.
That didn't stop Bennett, though. "I understand I got to probably go to trial and so forth. But I was just curious, is it necessary to basically have to sit here until this whole trial and get this thing figured out," he said.
The judge told him he could only get out of jail if he could pay his bail. He is being held on a $5 million bond. Bennett hasn't been formally charged yet and will be back in court next week. The judge said that prosecutors have received additional time to file charges against him because of the Thanksgiving holiday and the complicated nature of the case.
