GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – Trial started Monday in a 2015 murder case.
Antwon Powell is charged with allegedly killing David Shorter at a duplex on Bellevue Street on Dec. 3, 2015.
The trial is scheduled to last all week. Jury selection took place Monday morning.
Powell previously was convicted of the murder after entering an Alford plea. In that plea, he suspect maintains his innocence, but acknowledges the state has enough evidence for a conviction. Powell later withdrew that plea, however.
According to the criminal complaint, Powell had accused Shorter of breaking into his home and stealing money and marijuana earlier that day. The two had argued back and forth on the phone throughout the day. That night, Powell went to Shorter’s home on Bellevue Street and shot him when he went outside for a cigarette, the criminal complaint states.
