Eric Emil Lehtinen, a Redmond man who is accused of injecting his son with heroin, had his May 15 trial continued to July 9, according to a press secretary for the King County Prosecuting Attorney Office.
Lehtinen pleaded not guilty to the charge of first-degree attempted murder at his arraignment on Oct. 10, 2013 at the King County Courthouse.
Lehtinen’s son, who was 4 at the time of the Sept. 24, 2013 incident, was released from Seattle Children’s Hospital in October 2013.
The man remains in the King County Jail in Seattle with bail set at $3 million. If convicted, he could face at least 15 years in prison.
