Gerald Goines is accused of murder in the deaths of Dennis Tuttle , 59 , and his wife Rhogena Nicholas , 58 .

Prosecutors say Goines lied to obtain a search warrant by making up a confidential informant and wrongly portraying the couple as dangerous heroin dealers.

Goines has pleaded not guilty to two felony murder counts in the couple's deaths.

Prosecutors have criticized Goines' efforts to overturn his indictment.
