Todd E. Dalton, the second of four defendants charged in the 2013 Corey N. Matthews’ murder, will go on trial Wednesday once the jury has been selected. All four defendants one time all lived in Coffee County.
Last summer, David Jenkins, who was the first of the defendants to go on trial for Matthews’ murder, was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole on June 9, 2015.
Matthew’s badly beaten body was found March 24, 2013, in a cornfield in Cowan by a Cowan Police Officer who had been searching for the man after family members reported him missing.
Jury selection will take place with Franklin County Circuit Court Judge Thomas Graham presiding.
