Pekin boy’s accused killer appears for short court hearing​

The suspect accused of murdering 13-year-old Robert Bee of Pekin a decade ago made a brief appearance Monday in Tazewell County Court.

During the hearing, Keith Brackett, 48, was assigned a new court date to give his lawyer more time to review the case.


Monday, Brackett’s public defender asked for more time to look over the case after the state presented thousands of pages of documents.

Brackett was arrested April 8 of this year and pleaded not guilty to the charges that include first-degree murder and concealment of a homicidal death.

Brackett’s next court hearing is scheduled for July 16.
 

Court hearing in Robert Bee murder case pushed back until September​

A review hearing for a person accused of killing a 13-year-old boy in 2016 has been pushed to September after both prosecutors and her attorneys agreed to continue the hearing.

A hearing had been set for Thursday to review Brackett's case, but both parties agreed to push the hearing back until September 17 at 9 a.m.
 

November hearing scheduled in Robert Bee murder case​

The person accused of killing a 13-year-old boy a decade ago will appear again in court in October.

A Nov. 23 status hearing was initially agreed to by both prosecutors and the attorney for Keith Brackett, who is charged in connection with the November 2016 death of Robert “Bonzai” Bee. Bee’s body was found in a wooded area off Illinois Route 29 several months later.

Brackett was in court during the very brief hearing Thursday morning in Tazewell County Circuit Court. In prior hearings, Brackett has sometimes appeared from the jail through video conferencing.

Brackett’s attorney, Hugh Toner, also asked for a hearing on Oct. 1 to review Brackett’s detention at the county jail, where his client been since being arrested last spring.


The first-degree murder charges carry a possible 20 to 60-year prison term. The concealment of a homicide carries a possible 10-year prison term.

The public defender who was first assigned to Brackett’s case said there were more than 4,000 pages of evidence.
