The case is scheduled for trial next January.
In front of a packed courtroom filled with the family and friends of the victim, James Lee Troutman pleaded not guilty to all 11 charges stemming from the death of 9-year-old Skyler Kauffman in May.

Are the Democrats Really Challenging – or Just Challenged?
The senseless murder of 9-year-old Skyler Kauffman should inspire the Democrats to challenge the incumbent district attorney.
If there is a reason to challenge or remove the District Attorney in Montgomery County—this is it. Sklyer Kauffman was killed in the most savage brutal way a 9 year old could—by a sexual predator. It turns out that Skyler appears to have eluded death only three weeks ago when the suspect in this case actually had Skylar and another child in his apartment. The kids did what they were supposed to do—they told their parents, who called the cops. It appears the perp was given a pass on this incident. The District Attorney for Montgomery County, Risa Vetri Ferman, has stated: "You have to have a crime take place in order to file charges. … Everyone did what they were supposed to do, and unfortunately it wasn't enough to prevent the death of …
