Murder trials fill Lincoln county court with dramatic sessions
The Lincoln county circuit court heard the murder cases of Jim King for the Haskin killing at Caseyville last October and Prentiss Easterling for Bufkin, with long arguments by both sides. King’s jury later convicted him, and Easterling received life imprisonment after a tense, extended trial following a deadlock over King’s fate. Aaron Lofton’s murder trial proceeded, with minor cases postponed to next term, and Silas Davis sentenced to hang for murder.
