Murder trial scheduled to start - 8.13.07

Dameon Romell Early, charged with the murder of a 16-year-old Burns High School student, is scheduled to stand trial this week in Cleveland County Superior Court.

Police say in April 2006, Early shot Paras Samuel on Piedmont Avenue in Shelby. At the time of the incident, relatives told The Star that Early told them he acted in self defense.

Today in Superior Court, his attorney, Julian Wray, filed 11 motions including a motion to sequester witnesses. After the judge rules on the motions, jury selection is scheduled to begin. Testimony could start in the case late Tuesday or Wednesday.

I'll be blogging live once the trial starts.
