Letcher County Re-Trial Continues
KENTUCKY....
Jeffery Allen was convicted in 2006 after being accused of murdering his two year old foster child, Dakota Yonts, who died the night of March 27, 2003 in Letcher County. Medical examiners ruled the child was beaten and strangled to death. The verdict was overturned, and a re-trial was ordered last year. Wednesday was the third day of the re-trial, and the prosecution presented several witnesses recounting the night Dakota died. In total, 11 witnesses testified on Wednesday.
