Hatcher Murder Trial Recesses

  • {Huntington, West Virginia}...The jury in the murder trial of 26 year old Rhamel Hatcher of South Point is set to resume at 9:30 A.M. Monday. Hatcher took the stand Friday in his own defense, testifying he acted in self-defense and that he did not deliver a "fatal blow" to Jeremy Cook. Cook, from Hurricane, was found beaten and unconscious in an alley behind a Huntington nightclub in May 2010. He died several days later at a hospital in Huntington. The case was handed over to the jury about 3:20 P.M. Friday.
