Potential jurors in the murder trial of Randy Lee Reeder were reminded of their responsibilities on Friday.
In order to be fair as jurors, St. Joseph Superior Court Judge John M. Marnocha said, they must be able to set aside what they already may know of this case, which attracted “a lot of local media attention” earlier this year.
Randy Lee Reeder, who was reportedly homeless at the time of the killings, was arrested in February after Daniel J. Sharp, 55, confessed to their involvement in the deaths of Michael “Shan” Nolen Jr., Michael Lawson, Brian Talboom and Jason Coates.
