A Prestonsburg man accused of killing a woman at his father’s home in 2023 is appealing a judge’s denial of request to lower his bond.
M.K. McKinney is charged with murder and conspiracy to tamper with evidence in the death of Amber Spradlin with bond set at $5 million.
Last month his attorney argued to a Special Judge that McKinney was not a flight risk or danger to the public and asked for his bond to be lowered but the Judge Eddy Coleman said no.
This week McKinney’s attorney filed a notice of intent to appeal but since the appeal itself is not yet public, the grounds for it are not yet known.
