Smith was one of three people charged in Allbright’s death. The other two, Jonathan Geunther of the Randall community and Josh Brown of Rison, both testified about their roles in the murder during Smith’s trial last month. Butler said in an interview before his death that they were scheduled to go to trial on Sept. 12.

Wynne said Monday that Butler’s death will have a impact on what happens next for the other two suspects.

Prosecutor David Butler, in an interview with the Cleveland Herald before his death told the reporter the two were to go on trial September 12. But that’s all changed. In a recent interview with Deputy Prosecutor Tom Wynne, he said, no action will probably be taken until the Governor appoints a new prosecutor.

Jonathan Guenther, 21, of the Randall community, and Joshua Brown, 18, of Rison, received reduced murder charges Tuesday in a plea agreement concerning the December 2015 death of Cherrish Faith Allbright in northern Cleveland County.

Guenther and Brown both entered pleas Tuesday before Circuit Judge David Talley at the courthouse in Rison. Both of their murder charges where reduced from capital murder to first degree murder. The death penalty is only applicable to a capital murder charge. The maximum sentence for first degree murder, a Class Y felony, is 10 to 40 years to life in prison.
