Jury selection will begin Tuesday morning in Wayne County Circuit Court in a murder and robbery trial.
Willie Jay Copley, 27, allegedly killed a Dunlow man in order to steal his prescription drugs. A co-defendant in the case, Dylan Jarrells, 19, pleaded guilty to robbery last month and is expected to testify against Copley.
Prosecutors allege the pair killed James Spurlock, 46, at his home along Route 152 in Radnor on May 31, 2012. They say the evidence will show Copley and Jarrells rode there on ATVs, befriended Spurlock and then held him at gunpoint.
Prosecutors say their evidence shows Copley pulled the trigger.
A 12-member jury will be chosen to hear the case.
