White, who has been held in the county jail in lieu of a $500,000 bond since the stabbing, was scheduled to be in Franklin Municipal Court on Tuesday for a preliminary hearing. Because of the direct indictment, that hearing will not happen.
The preliminary hearing in the municipal court was continued twice because a key witness was hospitalized, according to Franklin Municipal Court Judge Rupert Ruppert.
