A Fulton man who is accused of killing his Russellville classmate in 1991 will have his case tried by the Missouri Attorney General’s Office.
William “Chris” Niemet’s first-degree murder case was refiled Wednesday in Cole County with Miranda Loesch, of the AG’s office, and Cole County Prosecutor Locke Thompson listed as the prosecuting attorneys.
An entry of appearance was filed on Wednesday and Niemet once again pleaded not guilty.
Niemet, of Fulton, is accused of killing his classmate, Greg Jones, in April 1991 in Russellville. Jones was 14. Niemet also would have been 14 at the time. Niemet was charged in 2020 with first-degree murder.
The trial has been delayed multiple times.
