At least we have a trial date now! I shall have to wait for @PayrollNerd for the next hearing date. :)


May 16, 2025

Tony "TJ" Wiggins, the man accused of gunning down three men by a lake in Frostproof in 2020, will face trial starting Feb. 23.

The trial date was set during a status hearing on May 16. Wiggins, 31, of Frostproof was indicted on three counts of first-degree murder, one count of tampering with evidence and one count of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon on Sept. 29, 2020, court records show.

Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty if Wiggins is found guilty of the first-degree murder charges.

Crap I’m not awake yet. I just posted the link haha. I saw their mama last night, but no one said anything about them. By the time Robert testifies against TJ, he will be most likely able to go free because they kept postponing the trial.

It was a long holiday weekend so no updates beyond the first degree murder case.
