During Friday's hearing, prosecutors were required to present evidence to prove whether probable cause existed that a felony crime had been committed in this case.

A stoic, shackled Guzy was closely guarded by three Chenango County corrections officers throughout Friday's 45 minutes of police testimony.

At the close of the felony hearing, Bainbridge Town Judge Brian Barnhart denied a request by Assistant Chenango County Public Defender Aaron Dean to dismiss the murder charge.

Guzy remains held in the Chenango County jail without bail. If convicted of second-degree murder, he could be sentenced to a maximum of 25 years to life in state prison.

After Friday's court appearance, McBride declined to comment beyond saying he expects to present the case to a grand jury within a month.

If there is sufficient evidence to not dismiss the murder charge, why is a grand jury needed. Just indict the man and start the trail.
