A man charged with murder in connection with an accident that killed his 16-year-old cousin was back in court Thursday.

The accident happened about one year ago off highway 38 in the Coxton Community of Harlan County.

27-year-old Phillip Osborne is charged with murder and assault.

Police say Osborne was driving under the influence when he crashed in November of last year.

16-year-old Dustin Middleton, a passenger later died from injuries, but Middleton's family say Osborne should not be blamed.

Today a judge rejected a request to reduce Phillip Osborne's bond to a property bond.
