West Virginia Man's Trial Preparation Moving Forward
A triple murder, rape and arson trial which has been moved from Carter County to Johnson County appears to be moving forward again. At a status conference Friday, attorneys told Carter County Circuit Judge Rebecca Phillips that experts examining DNA, cell phone and arson evidence in the case of Robert Drown had nearly completed their work, and arson experts are scheduled to complete a review of physical evidence Monday and should have a final report to the defense team within a couple of weeks. Drown, a convicted sex offender from Kenova, is charged with the May 2007 murders of 31 year old Jennifer Ison and her daughters, 10 year old Shannah and 3 year old Marissa. Another status conference is set for June 25th.
