Defense attorneys for Daniel Densmore, 32, withdrew their request for the hearing in Whitfield County Superior Court. His hearing on a charge of violating probation was moved to Nov. 1.
Densmore was charged Sunday in the deaths of 61-year-old Julious Wayne Smith and Krista Denae Babb. Charges include two counts of felony murder, arson, armed robbery and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
Smith and Krista, who were family friends, were found dead about 11:30 a.m. Sept. 17 in Smith’s partially burned home off Honeybee Way. Both had been shot before the house was set on fire.
Conasauga Judicial Circuit District Attorney Kermit McManus said Densmore’s probation likely will be revoked and he more than likely will remain in jail on the new charges.
