Date set for Logan Clegg trial as defendant waives arraignment in killings of Concord couple
The man accused of shooting and killing a Concord couple while they were out for a walk will face trial in New Hampshire over the summer.
Logan Clegg, 27, waived his arraignment Monday on charges connected to the deaths of Stephen and Wendy Reid that include multiple counts of second-degree murder and falsifying physical evidence.
In court, the judge and both sides worked out a date of July 10 for jury selection and July 11 for the trial's start date.
Clegg was arrested nearly six months after the couple's bodies were found along the Marsh Loop Trail in Concord.
It's anticipated that the trial will last between eight days to two weeks or more.

Although Clegg waived his arraignment, he still appeared in court as attorneys on both sides discussed the affidavit in the case.
The state filed a motion to unseal the document, but Clegg's attorney objected, saying the affidavit itself has nothing to do with court proceedings.
"We are talking about an investigative tool that brings the defendant to trial, and that's where the information should come out," said defense attorney Caroline Smith.
The judge is taking the defense's request under advisement.
Investigators said the Reids were killed on April 18, 2022. According to court documents, police said a witness saw a man fitting Clegg's description in the area where the couple's bodies were found after hearing gunshots the day they were killed.
Concord detectives first met Clegg at a tent site two days later, the same day the Reids were reported missing. Clegg allegedly gave the detectives a fake name. After the bodies were found, police returned to the tent site, but Clegg was gone, and the site had been burned.
Clegg was arrested at a library in Vermont on Oct. 28 on a fugitive from justice charge out of Utah. Prosecutors said that charge was dropped in favor of the New Hampshire charges. During a search of his campsite in Vermont, court records show, detectives found a Glock 17 handgun and ammunition. Lab testing determined the gun was the source of the spent shell casing recovered from the Concord crime scene, investigators said.
Clegg is facing second-degree murder charges in the killings. He is also charged with three counts of falsifying physical evidence for allegedly moving and concealing Stephen and Wendy Reid's bodies and for allegedly burning his tent and campsite after the couple's deaths.
Clegg is being held without bail. Authorities have not commented on a possible motive for the killings.
