Herrington retrial to use a jury from Madison County
MADISON COUNTY, Miss. (WCBI) – The capital murder retrial for Sheldon Timothy Herrington Junior will use a jury selected from Madison County.
The change of venue was granted after his attorneys argued he couldn’t get a fair trial in Lafayette County, because of extensive media coverage.
Herrington has been accused of killing Ole Miss student Jimmy “Jay” Lee in 2022.
His first trial ended in a mistrial last December.
Herrington remains in the Lafayette County jail.
The retrial is set to begin on December 1.
