Prosecutors and defense attorneys argue over what is 'reasonable doubt' in the capital murder trial of Timothy Herrington.
Jury deliberations begin in trial of Ole Miss grad accused of killing Jimmie ‘Jay’ Lee by Molly Minta, Mississippi Today December 11, 2024 In the final hours of Sheldon Timothy Herrington Jr.’s capital murder trial Wednesday, his defense attorney argued that too many open questions exist for a jury to convict him of killing a fellow University of Mississippi graduate who was prominent in the local LGBTQ+ community.
Oxford Police Department detectives testified earlier in the trial that Herrington provided them conflicting information about the hours leading up to Lee's disappearance, according to the Associated Press. "Not only did he lie to his family and his friends about his sexuality, being on the down low ... he lied to the church ... then he lied to the police about everything," Creekmore said. Creekmore alleged that Herrington killed Lee to hide their secret relationship.
