Murder trial moved to March, potential jurors relieved from duty
A murder trial originally scheduled for later this month has been moved to the March docket due to COVID-19.
The trial against 39-year-old Jonathan James Tubbs was moved to the March jury docket due to âCOVID exposure of necessary parties,â according to court documents filed Monday.
Tubbs was charged in February 2020 with first-degree murder in the shooting death of 37-year-old Catrina Pope at a residence in McAlester.
According to the Pittsburg County Court Clerkâs Office, there are no other trials set for January and residents who received a summons for jury duty will be notified not to report.
