Jack McCaffery, son of Iowa men’s head basketball coach Fran McCaffery, is filing a motion to skip his initial appearance over an incident in May that led to the death of a jogger.

McCaffery was charged with failure to yield to a pedestrian on the sidewalk. According to investigators, McCaffery hit 45-year-old Corey Hite on May 22nd along Melrose Avenue at Kennedy Parkway. Hite passed away from his injuries two weeks later.

A judge has not ruled on the request.

Jack McCaffery will be pleading not guilty and faces a non-jury trial next week.
