Huntington Murder Trial Set To Begin

  • {Huntington, West Virginia}...Jesse Blevins was in Cabell County Court Tuesday for a final motions hearing in preparation going on trial Wednesday charged with fatally stabbing his girlfriend, Elizabeth Cotton, in July 2009 and then putting her body in the crawl space of a house in Huntington. In October 2009, a grand jury indicted Blevins on charges of murder and concealment of a deceased human body. That indictment was thrown out due to issues with testimony that was presented to the original grand jury, but a new grand jury re-indicted Blevins on the same charges. Judge Alfred Ferguson will preside over the trial which is expected to last about four days.
