A state witness and defendant in the Jimmel Horton murder trial claims Horton sent him letters while in the Halifax County Jail telling him to say nothing about the case.
The state intends to prove Jimmel Horton not only killed Chris Harrison in a 2013 home invasion on Zoo Road South but also killed Monte Hines, who was thought by Halifax County Sheriff's Office investigators to be an assailant in the deadly robbery attempt.
A third person has been arrested in the October 27 murder of Chris Harrison and is also charged in the shooting death of the alleged co-conspirator in the case, Monte Hines.
