An Osage Beach man accused of murdering his roommate will not go to trial until 2012. This week in Camdenton, Judge Kenneth Hayden set a trial date of February 21, for Gregory Lucas George, who faces charges of first degree murder and armed criminal action in the death of Adrianna Hyten.
Hyten, 21, was found stabbed to death in her apartment on Mace Road in Osage Beach on October 10, 2010. Police arrested George, 24 on the same day for violating conditions of his probation from prior criminal convictions — endangering the welfare of a child and second degree child molestation. An Osage Beach detective brought a murder charge against George for Hyten’s death in April of this year.

George’s trial met further delay when Judge Bruce Colyer recused himself from the case and Hayden took the assignment. George is being held in the Camden County jail with no bond allowed. Attorneys will hold a pretrial conference on January 9, and Hayden set aside four days for a jury trial.
Public defender Karie Comstock of Lebanon will represent George.
