Join Bob and Ali LIVE as Austin Drummond appears in Lake County Circuit Court for his first arraignment since being indicted on first-degree murder and aggravated kidnapping charges in the shocking July 29th killings of four family members.
THE CASE:
Austin Drummond faces charges in the deaths of James Wilson (21), Adrianna Williams (20), Braydon Williams (15), and Cortney Rose (38), whose bodies were found in rural Tiptonville, Tennessee after a 7-month-old baby was discovered abandoned 40 miles away in a stranger's front yard evading authorities for a week, Drummond was captured and now faces capital murder charges, with prosecutors seeking the death penalty.

Death penalty considerations and capital case procedures
Pretrial detention issues - Drummond was recently moved to state prison due to behavioral concerns and security risks
