Covering the Shelton trial
Placeholder Image
From time to time, a high-profile trial in Green County will require cops and courts reporter Brian Gray to spend the bulk of his week at the Green County Courthouse.

This week, Brian is covering the trial of Casey Shelton, the Brodhead man accused of killing his 2-month-old son Christopher nearly two years ago. He will be attending the trial, expected to last one week, in its entirety with the exception of most of Mondays jury selection process.

Our photographer, Brenda Steurer, was in the courtroom Monday to get photos for todays paper, and likely will be back at the courthouse when a verdict is delivered.

Brian will be coming directly from court each day to file his story or stories, if developments merit. His stories, once edited, will be posted online immediately. Given the public interest in the outcome of this case, we made the decision to allow our online readers quicker access to the information from the days proceedings.

The Times provides increased coverage of trials like this not only because of the public interest in the case, but also as an opportunity for readers to measure the work its district attorneys office is doing in prosecuting the case, as well as the work of local law enforcement officials.
