Akron man accused of forcing 12-year-old into fatal ice baths pleads not guilty at arraignment

A trial date has been set for Anthony McCants, the Akron man accused of forcing a 12-year-old to participate in two "ice baths" or "cold-plunges" that led to the boy's death. McCants appeared for his arraignment before Summit County Common Pleas Court Judge Mary Margaret Rowlands on Wednesday and pleaded not guilty to the amended indictment, which includes one count of murder, plus charges of involuntary manslaughter and endangering children. Bond was continued at $500,000. With the deadline for a speedy trial looming on June 19, Rowlands announced that McCants' trial would begin on June 16. "Everyone is going to clear their calendars and that's what's going to happen," she told all parties on a video conference call. Summit County Assistant Prosecutor Zach Neumann said while the discovery of evidence was "quite voluminous," his office would be prepared to go to trial next month. "Here's the thing," Rowlands responded. "The State clearly took all this time to push us up against this position of June 19. You took all this time." When Neumann responded that he was ready, Rowlands replied, "I'm sure you are ready. You've had this case for a long time." Read: https://www.wkyc.com/article/news/cri...
