Salt Lake City • A Utah man accused of fatally shooting a city code enforcement officer after what he considered years of harassment over laws requiring cleanup of trash and weeds outside his home will stay behind bars after a judge on Tuesday refused to lift a no-bail order.
Judge Randall Skanchy made his ruling during a hearing in Salt Lake City where a representative for victim Jill Robinson's family implored him to keep Kevin Wayne Billings locked up so he can't hurt anyone else or himself.
"We all love Jill so very, very much and we are devastated that we will not have one last phone call, one last vacation, one last Christmas, one last family party, one last anything with her, not even a goodbye," said cousin Tracy Maxfield, reading a statement.
