The man on trial in the killing of University of Mississippi student Jimmie “Jay” Lee gave conflicting information to police about how well he and Lee knew each other. That is according testimony Friday by Shane Fortner, one of the officers who did the interview. Fortner says Sheldon “Timothy” Herrington Jr.
Sheldon Timothy Herrington Jr., who is on trial on a capital murder charge in the 2022 death of University of Mississippi student Jimmie “Jay” Lee, looks out into the courtroom during the lunch break, in Oxford , Miss. on Tuesday, Dec. 3, 2024. Judge Kelly Luther presides over the trial of Sheldon Timothy Herrington Jr., who is on trial for the murder of University of Mississippi student Jimmie “Jay” Lee, in Oxford , Miss. on Tuesday, Dec. 3, 2024.
During the second interview, Herrington said he and Lee had a “deeper relationship” and that they had a sexual encounter just hours before Lee disappeared, Fortner said. Fortner said that statement made him think Herrington had lied during the first interview.
According to police body camera footage shown in court Friday in Oxford, Herrington talked to two officers without having an attorney present.
