A man and woman accused of abandoning a pregnant 17-year-old girl to care for their sickly 3-year-old son, who was found dead in a Las Vegas-area home, have pleaded not guilty to murder and child abuse charges.
A state court judge on Thursday scheduled trial April 25 for Jondrew Lachaux on 22 felony charges, and Kellie Phillips on six charges.
They were indicted June 24 and remain in custody — Lachaux on $5 million bail and Phillips on $2 million.
Phillips is several months' pregnant, a prosecutor and her lawyer say.
Lachaux and Phillips are accused of moving to Northern California with their five other children after Lachaux fathered the teen's baby, born last November.
The 3-year-old was found dead April 2 in a North Las Vegas house.
