Some autopsy photos allowed in Sheley case
DNA evidence also in; jury selection begins Monday
MORRISON – A Whiteside County jury can see some photos showing the extent of Russell Reed's injuries during Nicholas T. Sheley's upcoming murder trial, a judge ruled Wednesday.
One by one, attorneys and Judge F. Michael Meersman went through some of the photographs state forensic pathologist John Denton will use to illustrate those injuries.
At the motions hearing, Denton testified that he conducted the autopsy on the 93-year-old rural Sterling man on June 29, 2008, at the Peoria County Coroner's Office.
