Man pleads not guilty in Planned Parenthood fire

GREEN BAY (WKOW) – Trial is set to start this summer for a Grand Chute man accused of setting a fire at a Planned Parenthood clinic.

The Green Bay Press-Gazette reports the trial of Francis Grady, 50, is scheduled for June 25.

Grady pleaded not guilty this week in U.S. District Court in Green Bay.

He declined to answer questions after Tuesday's hearing. Grady originally told the court he planned to plead guilty at his initial appearance earlier this month.

He was indicted on charges of arson and causing damage to a reproductive health facility.

Grady allegedly told investigators he broke the clinic window with a hammer, poured gasoline inside and lit it.

No one was hurt in the April 1 fire.

Grady is being held in the Outagamie County Jail.
