Dukes is accused of helping his high school buddy, Ryan Duke, dump and burn Grinstead's body in 2005. The two were charged in 2017, nearly 13 years after the crime.
In June, a grand jury indicted Dukes on charges of concealing a death, tampering with evidence and hindering the apprehension of a criminal in Grinstead's death.
