Murder in The Villages-Justice Continues (Part 5)

Well, things are moving forward now.

The prosecution has wrapped and now the defense continues by the lawyers of the two alleged murderers.

Frankly, there doesn't seem to be much of the way in defense.

OCALA – Renaldo McGirth declined to testify Tuesday morning at his murder trial.

He and co-defendant Jarrod Roberts are accused of murdering Villages resident Diana Miller in July 2006 and shooting and injuring her husband, James.
*********************************
Roberts’ attorney, Henry Ferro, was expected present his case Tuesday afternoon. (That probably won't take much time.)

And the wheels of justice keep turning.


UPDATE (2/06/08)

The defense has rested. The prosecution and defense have had their closing arguments. The jury should get the case on Thursday.

Stay tuned.


UPDATE (2/07/08)

The jury has been at it today, but seem to have called it a night. They'll continue on Friday.

And the beat goes on.

The only thing they seem to have on Sheila is that yes, she is a drug addict that by association with her dealers ended up with her parents killed. So they say...I don't think we will ever really know. I am so ashamed to have her in my family

From the way things are going with the trial, it looks like nothing is going to happen to her except that all of the families want NOTHING to do with her so SHEILA IF YOUR READING THIS.... QUIT CALLING!!! We don't want to ever hear from you again! A FAMILY MEMBER

Well, 'known' and 'family'-the trial is wrapping up. Should be to the jury on Thursday.

And you're right 'family' it seems Sheila may not be called to account. The defendants keep trashing her and the prosecution keeps playing her as victim.

It will be interesting.
