Hot Spring County Prosecuting Attorney John Cole said Tuesday he will make a decision in May regarding the filing of charges in connection with the murder of Garland County Sheriff’s Deputy Linda Edwards.

Cole said the investigation is basically complete but progress on the case has been slowed because of a reevaluation of his priorities which made it necessary for him to become involved in some other court cases.

At this point Cole said there is no-way he can predict what his decision might be, but he said he would either files charges next month or make a public statement about the case if charges are not going to be filed.
