Jury selection begins Monday

After many delays, the trial is underway. Jury selection begins Monday 4/11. According to the Herald Times, more than 100 Monroe County residents are expected to be called for jury duty Monday and Tuesday when Michael Griffin goes on trial for murder, charged with stabbing to death Indiana University English Professor Don Belton.

Also of note: “Griffin’s lawyers indicated they would argue the killing was committed in the heat of anger and was not murder, but voluntary manslaughter instead.”
