Oklahoma County Special Judge D. Fred Doak ruled sufficient evidence exists to send Jimmy Lee Massey Jr. and Francisco Gomez to trial on charges of trafficking methamphetamine and conspiracy to traffic methamphetamine.
Prosecutors amended the charges against Massey to include three counts of distribution, authorities said.
Massey, 33, and Luis Enrique Ruiz, 37, were charged in July with first-degree murder in the October 2011 death of Carina Saunders, whose dismembered body was found in a duffel bag.
Massey, while jailed on the drug charges, shared details of Saunders' killing with two detainees, according to a probable cause affidavit filed with his murder charge.
“Much of the initial information in the Carina Saunders case came from that drug investigation,” Oklahoma County First District Attorney Scott Rowland said Wednesday.
