Overview

• At a preliminary hearing on Sept. 30, Judge Greg Haymore found probable cause and certified charges of attempted first-degree murder and aggravated malicious wounding.
• Danville police said Shotsie Michael Buck-Hayes told investigators he set Vogler on fire because of an alleged affair and that he purchased gasoline to carry out a killing.
• Coworker Steven Seiple testified he saw Buck-Hayes chase Vogler with a bucket, pour gasoline, and that Vogler fled burning and yelled for help.
• Blair Vogler told the court her husband suffered second- and third-degree burns over about 60% of his body, underwent multiple surgeries, and sustained lung damage and other complications.
• A grand jury will hear the case on Oct. 27; Buck-Hayes remains jailed without bail, the defense requested a mental evaluation, and authorities have said the attack stemmed from a personal matter rather than politics.
