A local man facing a murder charge in Grayson County was arraigned on Friday. Lindsley Cravens was arraigned on a murder charges related to the death of Stephen Obar from November.
The arraignment is generally a person s first court appearance after being arrested. During that hearing, a judge reads the formal charges against the person and ask if the person has an attorney or plans to hire one or if the person needs to ask for a court appointed attorney.
The judge can also ask for a plea at this time.
Cravens defense attorney Tim Brown asked the judge to reduce Cravens bond. That request was approved.
