That's when a judge will hear evidence and decide whether to send the charges to a grand jury. Boughton, 19, did not enter a plea during the arraignment. Boughton is accused of shooting and killing Morgan W. Young, 21, of Bountiful, and wounding Young's companion, Joshua Heidbrink, 19, as they went door-to-door on Jan. 2.
Boughton is being held without bail.
He has been charged with murder in Young's death, with the malicious wounding of Heidbrink, and with three counts of using a gun while committing a felony.
The young man's arraignment was postponed once because he did not have an attorney. He has since retained counsel.
