A trial date will be set in the Megan Hall murder case later this month.

Hall is charged with killing Pottsville businessman Patrick Murphy Feb. 28, 2019.

John Fuller and Greg Carter, Hall’s attorney’s, had a pretrial conference in New Orleans Criminal District Court on Wednesday.

Another pretrial conference is set for April 14. Court documents show a trial date will then be scheduled.

Hall is in jail at the Orleans Parish Justice Center on $750,000 bond. She 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, 1317 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 he 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.
