Muncey trial delayed amid intimidation claims and floods
Judge Stephens postponed the Muncey trial until November citing a mandatory judicial conference and grand jury schedule. Prosecutor Sid Bell described intimidation against witnesses by individuals linked to Jerri Roncella and David Hurt, as a McDowell County grand jury indicted Muncey in 2002 for inappropriate sexual contact with three male juveniles. Police pledged swift arrests if intimidation continued, while flood-related travel and interviews shaped the lengthy investigation.
