Overview
- Josh Hunsucker, who entered not guilty pleas Monday to murder and fraud counts, was ordered back to jail after a judge revoked his bond.
- Prosecutors said some charges will be tried separately and noted a possible September 8 start for the murder trial.
- Investigators say testing of Stacy Hunsucker’s preserved donor blood found tetrahydrozoline at roughly 30 to 40 times therapeutic levels, a dose of the eye‑drop ingredient that can stop the heart.
- The state alleges he sought a $250,000 life insurance payout and also exposed the couple’s 11-year-old daughter to the same substance, prompting health issues.
- His attorney moved to shift the case out of Gaston County due to heavy local coverage, a step that could influence how a jury is picked.
