PORT ANGELES — A court hearing for a Port Angeles man accused of trying to kill a relative with a deadly dose of insulin was continued Friday to Nov. 24.
Robbie Wayne Davis is still scheduled to go to trial Jan. 11 on charges of attempting to murder his late stepuncle, Richard Haynes.
“As far as we know, it’s going out in January,” said Michele Devlin, Clallam County chief criminal deputy prosecuting attorney, in a Friday interview.
Davis, 40, is charged with three counts of attempted first-degree aggravated murder, three counts of first-degree assault-administers a destructive or noxious substance and two counts of felony harassment-threats to kill.
The harassment charges stem from letters that Davis allegedly wrote in the county jail that threatened a deputy prosecuting attorney and a caseworker.
Haynes, a nondiabetic who had Down syndrome, died of complications of pneumonia in October 2014. He was 57.
Clallam County Superior Court Judge Erik Rohrer on Friday granted defense attorney John Hayden’s motion to continue the hearing.
Rohrer reset the review hearing for 9 a.m. Nov. 24.
Davis is being held in the Clallam County jail on $50,000 bail.
