Love set to go to trial Monday

Jury summons have been sent out and everything points to go for the capital murder trial of Barry Love, according to Attala County Circuit Clerk Wanda Fancher.

The 24-year-old Kosciuskoan is set to go to trial on Monday, Feb. 1, at the Attala County Courthouse for the November 2008 shooting at Hill Brothers Logging Shop on Highway 19 North.

In addition to the capital murder charge, Love is charged with two counts of aggravated assault.

Witnesses said three black males attempted to rob the shop and began to shoot inside the building.

Jesse Earl Hill, 52, was found dead at the scene. Hill received a gunshot wound to the chest.

Donnie Elmore, 56, was shot in the leg and transported to University Medical Center in Jackson and Jimmy Cook, 42, was grazed by a bullet on his side.

Robert Landfair, 27, of Durant, pleaded guilty in Attala County Circuit Court in September to accessory after the fact to commit robbery and conspiracy to commit armed robbery. He will serve 10 years in prison.

Demetrius Roberson, 27, and Justin James, 22, both of Durant, are still awaiting trial dates.
