Murder Charges Reinstated Against Maxwell Wyant

By: WROC-TV
Updated: September 28, 2012
A Brighton man who had a murder charge reduced to assault is now facing murder charges again.

An Appellate Court reinstated murder charges against Maxwell Wyant for the February death of Christopher Schoen. Wyant is accused of killing Schoen after a dispute over property. Monroe County Court Judge Doug Randall reduced the murder charge to assault back in May, but the Appellate Court found that Randall's decision was "legally impermissible."

There is no word when Wyant will be back in court.
