JURY SELECTION FOR MICHAEL DIXON TRIAL MONDAY
(Washington Co. Jail)
Jury selection for the murder trial against Michael Dixon is scheduled for today (Monday)
Selection will begin this morning at 9 a.m. Dixon’s trial was initially set for June 4th, but newly discovered evidence pushed the trial back.
Washington County District Attorney Julie Renken says she filed a motion for continuance on May 30th, due to the aforementioned evidence.
Michael Dixon is being charged with capital murder of Blinn College student Trey Kurtz, occurring October 30, 2014.
In addition to Dixon, three other suspects are being charged with the murder of Kurtz.
Renken states the trial for Deperrion Lott is slated to begin on October 15th at 9 a.m. Lott is also being charged with a second-degree felony, for his involvement in a riot at the Washington County Jail in June of 2017.
Renken says a trial for Jordan Alexander Graves is being considered for March of 2019, but she is waiting on word of the availability of the defense attorney.
She also says the case of J.B. Wright III is pending, but at this time she is not anticipating the need to try Wright III.
