Richmond, KY: Jan. trial date set for Ky. man in wife's death

A January trial date has been set for a central Kentucky man charged with shooting his wife in the chest and killing her.

The Richmond Register reports that Judge William C. Clouse Clouse set the Jan. 18 in the case of 45-year-old Hugh Phillip Skidmore III.

Skidmore is accused of shooting and killing his wife, Kimberly, at their Berea home on Aug. 24, 2009.

Prosecutors say Skidmore shot his wife in the chest with a .45-caliber handgun. He placed a call to 911 which brought officers, and emergency responders to the scene after the shooting.

Skidmore has pleaded not guilty to the charge.
