Trial under way in Va. in missionaries shooting
The jury heard opening statements on Monday in the case of James Boughton Jr., who is charged with first-degree murder, malicious wounding, attempted malicious wounding and three firearms violations.
Missionaries Morgan W. Young and Joshua Heidbrink were shot while knocking on doors in Chesapeake in January 2006.
Young, of Bountiful, Utah, died of his injuries. Heidbrink, of Greeley, Colo., recovered from the shooting.
Attorneys for Boughton told the jury that another man was responsible for the shootings and that Boughton has an alibi. Prosecutors say a dispute over money led Boughton to the neighborhood and a run-in with the missionaries.
