This trial is very important but keep in mind this is about his alleged felonious lying to police. The charges of actually burning the body of #TaraGrinstead are pending in Ben Hill county in an indictment that is older than this one.

#BoDukes sits in the courtroom awaiting the start of jury selection. He is charged in Wilcox County with making a false statement, hindering the apprehension of a criminal and concealing the death of another in the #TaraGrinstead case. We will bring you gavel-to-gavel coverage.

The state must prove that Bo Dukes lied to investigators in June 2016 about what he knew of the #TaraGrinstead murder. They’ll use his later statements to the contrary along with just enough additional corroboration to prove the alleged lie. This trial won’t answer all questions

As I suspected all along Bo Dukes had counsel present when he told GBI that Ryan Duke was the killer of #TaraGrinstead - meaning that he was initially a cooperator. It look like that all fell apart after Ryan Dukes arrest and only then was he indicted for his initial alleged lies
