UPDATE (MARCH 16):
A grand jury will consider indictments against three people suspected in the February murder of Tazewell man Aaron Massengill after a Claiborne County judge found probable cause in the case.
Following a daylong hearing from detectives, witnesses and family, Judge Robert Estep said there is probable cause the defendants killed Massengill. He sent the case to a grand jury to determine if there is enough evidence to bring the case to trial.
