Jury Selection Begins Monday In Lottery Store Murder
November 13, 2013
Jury selection begins Monday for Malcolm Troy McGhee, one of the two men accused in the robbery and shooting death of a Davisville lottery store owner just over a year ago.
McGhee’s trial is expected to last about two days on charges of premeditated 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.
His co-defendant, Brent Dewayne Lambeth, 21, has pleaded no contest to second degree murder. Under his plea deal, he will receive no more than 30 years in prison, provided he testifies against McGhee.
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.
