Renée Sweeney murder suspect Robert Steven Wright's bail hearing for a single count of child pornography has been adjourned to Feb. 28.
Wright made a brief appearance Friday morning.
After news of the additional charge emerged on Feb. 15, Wright's lawyers, Berk Keaney and Michael J. Venturi, issued a statement that said when Wright was arrested, police found no images or videos in his residence connected to the new charges.
"This charge is based on a single typed document," the release said. "Police have decided to lay this charge on the eve of his bail hearing. We have no doubt this charge will be withdrawn."
Wright is charged with first-degree murder in the 1998 death of Sweeney. He was arrested Dec. 12 and charged with murdering Sweeney, who was a 23-year-old LU music student.
She was working at an adult video store on Paris Street at 11 a.m. on Jan. 27, 1998, when she was attacked and stabbed to death.
A bail hearing for the murder charge against Wright was also held this week, and will continue March 27.
