Jury selection was completed Monday in Christian Circuit Court for Shakkory Willis, the man accused in the January, 2019 shooting death of Corvyan Thomas on Short Bethel Street and trial got fully underway.
Opening statements from Commonwealth’s Attorney Rick Boling and public defender Eric Bearden kicked trial off, with Boling describing the alleged plan for a robbery that was set to take place the night of the shooting. He describes it as a robbery gone wrong, as once the two juvenile females were inside, they found nothing worth taking like they had been told there would be—Boling insists that Willis was the one who confronted Thomas and assaulted him for more information, and that’s when the fatal shooting occurred.
