What plea did Sammy Schaefer enter in his murder-for-hire case?

In the latest court hearing on Valentine's Day, Sammy Schaefer entered a not guilty plea to four charges: two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of solicitation for murder-for-hire. This plea came after his defense team argued against trusting the prosecution's narrative, which relies heavily on testimony from Shaw, the man Schaefer allegedly hired to commit the murder and who faces murder charges himself. Despite defense efforts to secure Schaefer's release pending trial, the judge sided with prosecutors, ruling that Schaefer will remain behind bars as the case proceeds toward trial.
