Four days before Tim Eubanks was scheduled to stand trial for the December 2006 murder of his wife, Tina, his attorney and the Nacogdoches district attorney's office may be negotiating a plea bargain, according to information received by The Daily Sentinel Thursday.
A call from Tina Eubank's brother, Timothy Kirby of Dallas, Ga. informed The Daily Sentinel that a "deal" had been struck in the case.
"They just called my dad, and they've struck a deal against our family wishes," Kirby said Thursday afternoon. "They told him (the deal is) 35 years — 17 and a half served. And he's already served a year and half in the county jail, which means he's eligible to be on the streets again in 16 years."
Four days before Tim Eubanks was scheduled to stand trial for the December 2006 murder of his wife, Tina, his attorney and the Nacogdoches district attorney's office may be negotiating a plea bargain, according to information received by The Daily Sentinel Thursday.
A call from Tina Eubank's brother, Timothy Kirby of Dallas, Ga. informed The Daily Sentinel that a "deal" had been struck in the case.
The district attorney's office declined to comment due to a gag order still being in effect on the case, as was the case with Eubanks' attorney, John Heath Jr., meaning neither could confirm nor deny Kirby's information.
However, information from the 145th district judge's office, where the trial was expected to begin Monday, April 21, indicated that it's up in the air as to whether the trial is still on. District Judge Campbell Cox II was out of the office until Monday, a clerk said.
The trial was originally scheduled for August of 2007, then moved to December, then moved again to Monday.
Tina Eubanks was found dead, apparently from strangulation or suffocation, in the bedroom of their home on Sheffield Drive on Dec. 13, 2006, according to police reports. Three of the couple's five children, who ranged in age from 7 to 16, were found by police in the living room where they had been bound with duct tape, the other two children having already left for school. Police had been called by one of Eubanks' friends, after Eubanks made several phone calls saying his wife was dead and that he intended to kill himself.
The family's Mazda minivan was found at about 1:30 a.m. the following day, off Sutton Mill Road in the Littles Chapel Community near Chireno. Eubanks was found inside suffering from what appeared to be a drug overdose. He was transported to a Nacogdoches hospital for treatment.
Along with the murder charge, Eubanks is also accused of sexually assaulting one of his stepdaughters on the morning of the killing, according to the arrest warrants.
Little has been made public about the case due to the gag order, but Kirby made it clear that he is "ready to talk."
"That man is going to walk on your streets in 16 years," Kirby said. "The man who murdered (his wife), who molested and abandoned his children after he duct taped them like terrorists in their own home."
Eubanks was charged with murder, which ranged from five to 99 years in prison, indecency with a child, which carries a range of punishment of two to 20 years in the penitentiary, and three counts of abandoning a child, for which the punishment ranges from 180 days to two years in state jail.
