Monticello — Hope White went back to jail on Wednesday, March 10, just five days

after she was released on home incarceration to await her trial for murder.

Circuit Judge Vernon Miniard, Jr. signed an order that afternoon which

sent White back to the Wayne County Detention Center.

She is charged with murder in connection with the July 2008 stabbing

death of Julie Hicks Burchett, who was found dead in her car.

White was arrested nearly a year later, in June 2009, and had been held

on a $250,000 cash only bond.

That all changed on Friday, March 5, when White was granted release on

home incarceration. She left the Wayne County Detention Center on Saturday,

March 6.

Her trial was slated to begin on Tuesday, March 9, but Commonwealth's

Attorney Matthew Leveridge had filed a motion asking that the trial be

delayed.

During the March 5 hearing, Miniard granted that request and a new trial

date was set for April 16, which will be for jury selection. The first day

of the trial is scheduled for April 19, according to court documents.

Witnesses in the case appeared in Wayne Circuit Court on Tuesday, March

9, since they had already been subpoenaed to appear for the trial before the

delay was granted.

Miniard directed witnesses to be back in court for the new trial date.

Also during that hearing, Miniard directed that the Wayne County

Sheriff's Department provide 24 hour monitoring at the home where White was

staying.

In the order signed on Wednesday afternoon, Miniard ordered that White

be held at the Wayne County Detention Center "until further orders of the

court."
