    The family members stand as he is escorted out of the courtroom. They then leave the room themselves.

    The man who allegedly shot and killed another Campbellsville man has been denied a request for his $500,000 cash bond to be lowered, which would have given him a chance at freedom while his murder case moves forward in court.
