Reginald Potts’ murder trial — he is charged with killing Nailah Franklin — is set for February 19.

Writes the Northwest Indiana Times‘ Kirsten Srinivasan:

After pleading not guilty, a Cook County judge set a trial date for 31-year-old Chicago man accused of killing a Chicago woman whose body was found in Calumet City.

Judge Nicholas Ford set a Feb. 19 trial date for Reginald Potts, who is charged with 16 counts of first-degree murder, four counts of aggravated kidnapping and one count each of vehicular hijacking and robbery in the death of 28-year-old Nailah Franklin.

Potts, who appeared in Cook County court Friday morning, has indicated he wants to represent himself in the case.

Ford said it was critical that Potts “understand the error” of rushing into the case without all the discovery and without a private attorney. The judge gave the defendant until a Jan. 22 status hearing to make a final effort to hire a private attorney.

No discovery and pro-se representation probably means that Reginald Potts is going to be found guilty and sent away for a long time.
