Making their initial appearance in criminal court on Monday, Russell Pack and his brother, Phillip Pack, pled not guilty to the 2008 killing of Jayne Love.
They are set to stand trial in May on the second-degree murder charges.
After being brought up from the county jail in chains and shackles, the duo claimed poverty asking the state to pay their legal fees.
Criminal Court Judge Shayne Sexton attempted to appoint the public defender’s office to represent one of the brothers but was stopped.
