A judge in Clay County has scheduled a jury trial for Adam Baker on charges that stem from the fatal shooting of his wife.

Mr Baker’s case was transferred from Clinton County on a change of venue. Mr Baker was arrested shortly after the shooting of his wife Holly Baker February 25 at the couple’s home in the 900 block of West Prairie Street in Cameron.

Adam Baker is charged with second-degree murder and armed criminal action.  Clay County Circuit Judge Larry Harman scheduled a jury trial March 21. A pair of pre-trial hearings were scheduled as well.

Mr Baker is being held under $75,000 cash bail.
