Mark Redwine, the La Plata County man suspected of killing his 13-year-old son, Dylan Redwine, pleaded not guilty Friday in 6th Judicial District Court.<\/p>\n

A four-week jury trial is set to begin Nov. 26.<\/p>\n

In a routine court appearance that lasted about five minutes, Redwine\u2019s public defense lawyer, Justin Bogan, entered the \u201cnot guilty\u201d plea on his client\u2019s behalf.<\/p>\n

Redwine sat at a table and did not speak during the hearing. He was allowed to wear slacks and a blue dress shirt rather than the typical jail clothing, likely because media with cameras were allowed to attend the arraignment hearing, and some defense lawyers believe defendants in jail-issued clothing give the impression of guilt when there should be a presumption of innocence.<\/p>\n

Redwine is charged with second-degree murder and child abuse resulting in death.<\/p>\n

Two prosecutors \u2013 one from Boulder County and one from Jefferson County \u2013 are assisting District Attorney Christian Champagne with the case. It is not uncommon for prosecutors from other judicial districts to assist local district attorney\u2019s in high-profile cases, Champagne said.<\/p>\n

Elaine Hall, Dylan\u2019s mother, and Dylan\u2019s older brother, Cory Redwine, were present during Friday\u2019s hearing. They were joined by several friends and family members.<\/p>\n

Hall said she expected the not-guilty plea and is glad the case is moving through the judicial system.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re one step closer to a trial,\u201d she said. \u201cThat\u2019s really the goal \u2013 is the justice for Dylan and to finally get this going. There will never be closure because Dylan will still be dead, but at least we can try and put a little bit of our life back together.\u201d<\/p>\n

Redwine is suspected of killing his son, who was in town from Colorado Springs as part of a court-ordered visit with his father in November 2012. Dylan reportedly did not want to visit his father and had argued with him on previous visits. Dylan had also seen \u201ccompromising pictures\u201d of his father and reportedly planned to confront his father about those pictures during his visit.<\/p>\n

Dylan\u2019s remains were found in June 2013 about 8 miles from Redwine\u2019s home north of Vallecito Reservoir. His skull was found more than two years later in November 2015 about 1\u00bd miles from his previous remains and two months after the La Plata County Sheriff\u2019s Office named Redwine a person of interest in the case.<\/p>\n

A grand jury issued an indictment in September 2017, accusing him of second-degree murder and child-abuse resulting in death. If convicted, he could face 16 to 48 years in prison.<\/p>\n

According to the indictment, Dylan\u2019s blood was found in Redwine\u2019s living room, washing machine, the bed of his pickup and on the clothes Redwine reportedly wore the night Dylan went missing. Dylan\u2019s skull had injuries that indicated blunt-force trauma in two locations.<\/p>\n

Redwine is scheduled to appear in court Oct. 10 for a motions hearing.<\/p>\n
