DANVILLE -- Two men could stand trial as early as this spring in connection with a 2007 triple homicide in Danville.

Vermilion County Circuit Judge Michael Clary set jury trials for David L. Moore, 36, of Chicago, and Jerome J. Harris, 26, of Danville, for June 20.

Moore and Harris each face 15 counts of first-degree murder in connection the March 25, 2007 shooting deaths of 30-year-old Rodney Pepper, 21-year-old TaBreyon McCullough and 19-year-old Madisen Leverenz, all of Danville. The two men were indicted on March 24.

If convicted, they could face 20 years to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Moore and Harris returned to Vermilion County Circuit Court on Monday for their formal arraignment hearing. It was attended by relatives of Ms. McCullough and Ms. Leverenz, as well as more than 20 people who came to see Moore.

At the hearing, Vermilion County Public Defender Jacqueline Lacy withdrew as Moore's counsel, after Chicago attorney Thomas Brandstrader announced that he would be representing him. Moore waived his right to a formal reading of each count, and Brandstrader entered "not guilty" pleas for each on Moore's behalf.

Later, Harris also waived his right to a formal reading of each count, and Lacy, who still is representing him, entered "not guilty" pleas for each on her client's behalf. As authorities led him away, Harris turned and glared at relatives of Ms. McCullough and Ms. Leverenz, as he did at his initial hearing earlier this month.

Clary ordered that Moore and Harris remain held without bond at the Vermilion County Jail.

Mid-morning on March 25, 2007, police found the body of Mr. Pepper, who had moved to Danville from Chicago, lying in the middle of a four-lane highway in front of a two-story apartment building at 1701 E. Main St.

Soon after, they discovered Ms. McCullough and Ms. Leverenz inside one of the apartments.

Autopsies showed that all three died of gunshot wounds.

Authorities have said the investigation is ongoing, and they aren't ruling out other arrests. Other than that, they have released few details surrounding the crime.
