Pastor Robert Holmes and his attorney, George Parnham.
Robert Holmes of the Faith House of Prayer showed up in court Friday with attorney George Parnham.
Holmes is accused of not reporting to police the abuse of a 12-year-old boy at the hands of his father and stepmother.
"We'll be presenting some information to the grand jury, and I feel confident the grand jury will do the right thing," Parnham said. "This is information the prosecutor is probably unaware of."
Holmes didn't go before the judge Friday, and his hearing was reset.
