Fisher Watts, accused of fatally shooting Koty Stewart at Ginnie Springs on Memorial Day 2024, is scheduled for a pre-trial hearing Wednesday in Gilchrist County. A judge previously rejected Watts’s Stand Your Ground self-defense claim and on Monday denied a motion to expand the jury from six to twelve members. The trial is currently set to begin the week of July 6.
