District Attorney William V. Grady announced today that a Dutchess County Grand Jury
has voted to indict Roy Johnson and Devin Taylor.
This afternoon a written certification has been filed with the Town of Poughkeepsie
Court before Judge Sullivan, advising him that a Dutchess County Grand Jury has voted on an
indictment against the defendants, Roy Johnson and Devin Taylor.
This action (in essence) divests the court of preliminary jurisdiction over this case and
makes unnecessary the preliminary hearing that was previously scheduled for 4 o’clock on
today’s date.
Pursuant to the Grand Jury’s action, an indictment will now be prepared and filed with
the Dutchess County Court during the week of October 10th. An arraignment date will be
scheduled by the court thereafter. As soon as this date is known, a subsequent press release will
be issued.
