Garland has requested a jury trial, which was tentatively scheduled for next September. He is being held in Cumberland County Jail in lieu of bail pending the trial.
Garland’s lawyer has said the 25-year-old murder suspect has a long history of mental illness, which may have played a role in Meyers’ stabbing death.
