The woman charged with killing Pottsville jeweler Patrick Murphy has an April court date.

Megan Hall, who is in a New Orleans Prison, has a trial date of April 18 in the killing of Murphy on Feb. 28, 2019.

Hall appeared in New Orleans Criminal District Court Wednesday for a pretrial conference with her attorneys Devin Jones and John Fuller. A motions hearing is scheduled for Jan. 24. A pretrial conference is April 11.

Hall is in prison at the New Orleans Parish Justice Center on $750,000 bond. Hall is charged with second-degree murder, armed robbery and obstruction of justice. A grand jury voted to indict Hall in June 2019.

Police say Hall stabbed Murphy at The Empress Hotel, 137 Ursulines St. in the Treme section of New Orleans. A hotel employee found his body at 11:41 a.m.

Murphy, who had been the owner of Murphy Jewelers, had been visiting the city with his wife after she attended a jewelry convention in Arizona.

If Hall is convicted of the murder charge, she faces a mandatory lifetime prison sentence. An armed robbery conviction is 10 to 99 years in state prison and up to 40 years for the obstruction charge.
