Jury selection starts nearly four-year-old capital murder case
Lawyers expect to start selecting jurors in the capital murder case filed against a 27-year-old Dothan man today.
Dothan police investigators arrested Kevin McCloud on June 12, 2007, three days after the murder of Pete Reaves. Police charged McCloud with capital murder robbery.
Lawyers expect to start the trial today in front of Circuit Court Judge Butch Binford.
McCloud became one of three people Dothan police charged with capital murder in the shooting death of Reaves at his Rolling Hills apartment on June 9, 2007. Lorenzo Stacey already went to trial for his capital murder charge and a jury found him not guilty. But the capital murder charge filed against Kharon Davis remains pending.
The murder happened during a scuffle at an apartment where the three men allegedly went to buy drugs, police said, according to a previous Dothan Eagle report. McCloud suffered a gunshot wound to the neck.
If convicted of the capital murder charge McCloud faces the death penalty or life in prison without the opportunity for parole.
Houston County District Attorney Doug Valeska will prosecute the case for the state of Alabama. Lawyers Tom Brantley and T.J. Haywood will defend McCloud at trial.
Davis’ capital murder case is scheduled for trial next month in front of Circuit Court Judge Kevin Moulton.
