Prosecutors on Monday asked a judge to block the media and public from attending pretrial hearings in the high-profile case of a man charged in the cold case killings of two teenagers.

Defense lawyers are objecting to the request, saying they consider it unconstitutional.


Coley McCraney faces capital murder charges in the 1999 deaths of Dothan teens J.B. Beasley and Tracie Hawlett.
