Richards is currently serving a 30 year sentence for the crime.
Today, a trial date has been set for Waller. He will go to trial in Effingham County on February

Thank you for posting! I have been very busy today & haven't had the time...

It looks like some info was left off. When in February is he going to trial?
Oops! Thank you for pointing that out! It was supposed to be February 4th, but that will be the day they do jury selection, but according to Michelle Paynter (WTOC news reporter) it should only be a couple of days after that, and he will have his actual trial. I'll keep everyone posted!

Thank you!

The stage is set for baby Aiden's father to stand trial.
The toddler was abused last year by his mother and prosecutors say his father, Phillip Waller, knew about the abuse and didn't report it.
Today prosecutors and Waller's attorney picked a jury at the Effingham County courthouse. Waller's trial won't start until next month on March 9. http://www.wtoc.com/Global/story.asp?S=9789104&nav=menu89_2
