Joshua Davis to appear in court Wednesday

PROVIDENCE -- The man accused of murdering and molesting 8-year-old Savannah is scheduled to appear in Superior Court Wednesday morning.

Joshua A. Davis, of Woonsocket, was indicted last month on one count of murder, one count of first-degree child molestation and one count of kidnapping a minor. He was initially ordered held without bail.

Lawyers for Davis and the prosecution met behind closed doors today to schedule Wednesday's hearing, which will focus on Davis' bail status. He has the right to request a bail hearing, but he may choose to waive that right, choosing to stay in prison through the outcome of his trial.

Superior Court Judge Jeffrey A. Lanphear will preside over the hearing.
