Mrs May Trial Set In Assault Case At Court
The trial of Mrs Jenne L May for assault with a dangerous weapon on Lucius Cowen of the Marine Band will start this morning in Criminal Court No 2 before Justice Stafford and a jury. Dense spectator interest is expected as the case had been postponed due to DA Baker’s absence and other trials. If attendance grows, a card admission system may be used. Cowen died after living more than a year following the back wound. The indictment rests on assault not murder due to Cowen’s long survival and district law. Trial proceedings may delay while jurors are chosen and witness testimony begins midweek.
