Knox murder retrial nears as exhibits released for analysis
Prosecutor released certain exhibits from the John Knox Jr. case to allow further analysis ahead of a retrial. A Linn County jury was dismissed June 8 after four days of deliberation without a verdict. Gillam, a Marshalltown schoolteacher, was stabbed and sexually assaulted on June 3, 1987. The trial moved from Marshalltown to Linn County due to publicity. A retrial date has not been set. Jurors cited doubts related to a defense witness about a bloody print on Gillam’s bed sheet.
