Floyd County Man Gets New Trial
KENTUCKY....
Jury selection is set to begin Monday for the retrial of Dwayne Earl Bishop. The Kentucky Supreme Court issued a new trial after Bishop was convicted in 2005 for the murder of his wife, Carolyn Bishop, whose body was discovered along a strip mine in the Mud Creek area. In December 2000, Bishop filed a motion to disqualify attorney Harolyn Howard from the case because she was expected to be called as a material witness. He then filed a motion to proceed as co-counsel, but that motion was denied. Bishop was sentenced to life in prison.
