BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WIAT) – Damien McDaniel, the 22-year-old man allegedly responsible for up to 11 of Birmingham's homicides, including two mass shooting over the summer, has pleaded not guilty to the charges against him.
Jefferson County Deputy District Attorney Shawn Allen says McDaniel pleaded not guilty to four capital murder charges and one intentional murder charge he is facing.
McDaniel has also been charged with three attempted murders and 27 assault charges. His appointed attorney, John Robbins, entered an arraignment waiver on those charges.
Allen says Robbins asked for a status hearing Wednesday morning, which will be the next time McDaniel appears in court. A date for that hearing has not yet been set. According to Allen, McDaniel will have multiple court appearances before a trial date is set.
