An attorney representing a Camden man accused of killing his girlfriend and her 4-year-old son said during an arraignment Thursday that he will not seek a gag order or change of venue.
Jory Worthen, 25, is charged with two counts of capital murder in the June 2019 deaths of Alyssa Cannon, 25, and her son Braydon Ponder, both of Camden.
Their bodies were found in Cannon's home several days after Camden police say the killings occurred.
Defense attorney Gregg Parrish also filed a motion of discovery Thursday, along with notice invoking Worthen's Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and 14th Amendment rights.
Cannon had a restraining order against Worthen, but he was still living with her.
Police found Worthen's pickup at the home, but Cannon's white 2007 Honda Accord was gone.
The car was found the next month parked at a Burger King in Seattle.
Worthen was placed on the U.S. Marshals Service's 15 Most Wanted list in July, and the agency offered up to $25,000 for information leading to his arrest.
Investigative efforts led the marshals to a hotel in Burbank, Calif., where Worthen was arrested Oct. 5 after a brief chase.
He was extradited to Arkansas and arrived back in Camden on Oct. 22.
Worthen was denied bail and is being held in the Ouachita County jail.
