TRIAL BEGINS MONDAY IN ZAEVION DOBSON MURDER CASE
The trial for three men accused in the murder of Zaevion Dobson is set to go underway Monday. It’s been nearly two years since the Knoxville teen died shielding his friends from gunfire. Richard Williams III, Kipling Colbert Jr. and Christopher Bassett are charged with first-degree murder in the case. In November, a judge ruled the trial would take place in Knoxville after the defense argued it would be impossible for the men to receive a fair trial. The judge ruled that local and state coverage ruling the proceedings was no different than other high-profile coverage.
