Trials Delayed In Lottery Store Murder, Robbery
July 30, 2013
Trial was set to begin Monday for one of the Alabama men that allegedly robbed and shot a Davisville lottery store owner last November. But now trials for both men accused of the murder have been delayed.
Jury selection was set for Monday morning in the trial of Brent Dewayne Lambeth, 20, but a continuance was granted by Judge Linda Nobles until September. A continuance until September was also granted earlier this month for Malcolm McGhee Jr., 24.
Lambeth and McGhee remain in the Escambia County Jail without bond, charged with first degree murder and robbery with a firearm for the shooting death of 74-year old Thomas “Tommy” Kroll during a robbery on November 6, 2012, at the State Line O’ Yes Lotto on Highway 97.
Investigators said McGhee and Lambeth targeted Kroll’s business because they had previous purchased “Spice” there and the duo intended on robbing the store of more of the synthetic marijuana.
