GUILTY NC - Melissa Huggins-Jones, 30, murdered in her Raleigh home, 14 May 2013

[borndem]

WRAL will stream it live,beginning at 9:30amEST.

Their main portal is http://www.wral.com/ You should be able to find the specific trial from a "front page" display, but it usually is not shown until the trial starts and is shown continuously during the day.

The typical schedule is from 9:30am to 5:00pmEST, with a lunch break and a morning and afternoon break. The Wake County Court System rarely extends a trial after 5:00pm each day. Court is in session M--F unless a holiday or if there is very bad weather.

See you there, Sleuthers!

Justice for Melissa and her family.
I will give a specific link when the trial starts.

I found this trial on Wild About Trial and am reading up on it now---so awful. I'm wondering- will they be trying the female codefendant or did she make a deal of some sort? Thanks in advance!

I read yesterday on WRAL or WTVD that Sarah Redden faces charges, but the article wasn't specific about what they would be.

I'm watching the trial. It's heart wrenching. There's no reason this woman had to die, my heart breaks for her children and family. :tears:

Redden's attorney has said she wasn't in the apartment when Huggins-Jones was killed. She has agreed to testify against both men. Redden also faces charges in connection with the crime.

I just checked the Wake County Jails and she's still listed as an inmate - $1 million bond and charged with murder. I think they keep the list fairly current, so there it is, I guess.
