Knoxville, TN (TLS). Eric McLean, the Knoxville man charged in the fatal shooting of a 19-year-old high school student who had an affair with McLean's wife, has appeared in court today for a bond hearing.
During today's hearing the Court listened to two 911 tapes containing the phone calls made from the McLean home on the night of March 10, 2007, the night that 19-year-old Sean Powell was shot to death.
The first call was placed by Eric McLean, stating that an intruder had entered the McLean home. The second call was placed by Erin McLean some 17 minutes later stating that her husband had shot Sean Powell outside the home.
Bruce Poston, the attorney representing Eric McLean, had requested this bond hearing during his client's first court appearance shortly after his arrest. Prior to the hearing, Poston stated that he did not expect his client to remain in jail for the duration of the investigations and trial but fully expects McLean to be released on bond.
Poston also filed papers concerning the custody of McLean's two sons, who are now staying with their mother in Nashville. Poston maintains that his client fears for the safety of the children, given that Erin McLean allegedly severely punished her oldest son for telling his father that he had seen his mother walking hand-in-hand with Sean Powell in a public park.
