A Dallas County jury has convicted an Orrville man of murder and abuse of a corpse.
District Attorney Michael Jackson says Raphael Clark shot and killed Derrick Dower of Selma during a robbery attempt back in 2015. Then dumped Dower’s body in a different location.
“It took place in the Orrville-Beloit area but it started from Selma,” said Jackson.
“They were riding in the car together. And at some point he tried to rob him and killed him.”
Jackson says the jury deliberated for less than an hour before returning with guilty verdicts.
Clark is scheduled to be sentenced in September.
In-Court Jury Trials Resume in Dallas County
From the West Alabama Newsroom–
Things are slowly starting to get back to normal around the state after COVID-19 shut down activities that required people to gather in confined spaces.
The judicial system slowed to a crawl due to COVID-19. Non-jury trials continued during the pandemic but jury trials completely stopped.
The wheels of justice are said to turn slowly. And they’ve turned even slower during the pandemic. Because COVID-19 put a stop to in-court jury trials.
Dallas County District Attorney Michael Jackson says in-court jury trials will resume in the county this week.
