(Hamlin plea withdrawn)...Under a plea deal Brandon Hamlin had entered a plea of no contest in the murder of a Brawley couple.

Under the deal, the charges of robbery would be dropped. The judge has determined he does not have the authority to dismiss special circumstances. Because of that, the plea has been withdrawn and a trial date set. The 26-year-old will be tried on the charges of premeditated murder of 78-year-old Ella Castro and 84-year-old Rigoberto Castro and robbery of their Brawley home. The trial date has been set for July 15.
