Tentative dates have been set for a final hearing and jury trial in the case of a former high school principal and head boys’ basketball coach at Omaha who is accused of killing his wife.
The final hearing in the murder case of 52-year-old Rocky Brian Dodson charged in the death of his 36-year-old wife, Amanda, is now set for October 18 and the jury trial for November 7.
The hearing and trial will be held in the Boone County Courthouse in Harrison.
On March 6, Boone County sheriff’s deputies were called to the couple’s residence along Stonegate Drive in Omaha where Amanda Dodson’s body was found on the living room floor.
According to the probable cause affidavit, the woman’s body displayed severe bruising on the legs, arms and areas of the upper torso.
Though Rocky Dodson denies harming his wife, evidence suggests he to be the lone suspect in the case.
Dodson has entered a not guilty plea to the murder charge and is free on a $250,000 bond.
