Smith will stand trial later this year, but not before a change of venue is considered in the case. 31-year-old Patrick Smith of Pikeville will stand trial at the end of summer of this year. According to court documents, a September 17 trial date has been set for Smith, who is accused of acting in complicity with James Huffman IV to kill 24-year-old Michael Hogg on New Year's Day 2014. In December, Huffman was convicted of stabbing Hogg to death during the course of a fight that started over a stolen bottle of whiskey and also resulted in two other men being stabbed. Both Huffman and Smith were taken into custody together in Weizberg just hours after the incident that led to Hogg's death. A jury in Letcher County found Huffman guilty of murder and several counts of attempted murder. He was ultimately sentenced to life in prison. The defense in Huffman's case argued that bias existed in Letcher County against Huffman and Smith, but they were denied a request for a change of venue and the three-week-long trial against Huffman stayed in Letcher Circuit Court, wrapping up just before Christmas. According to court documents, Smith's defense team is also seeking to get the case moved out of Letcher County. A motion for a change of venue has been filed by Smith's defense team, and a hearing on that motion is set for April 4. According to court documents, Smith's trial is expected to take about 15 days. Additionally, court documents indicate that the prosecution in the case is seeking to obtain Smith's military records for his time serving in the United States Marine Corps. Court documents said those records have yet to be delivered by the Department of the Navy. Smith has been held in custody for more than four years. By the time he goes to trial, he will have been in jail in Letcher and Pike Counties for more than 56 months. In Weizberg, Chris Anderson, EKB News.
