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.
