2 Brothers Scheduled To Stand Trial In 1989 Michigan Slaying
WHITE CLOUD, Mich. (AP) - Two western Michigan brothers are scheduled to stand trial in the slaying of an 18-year-old woman in 1989.
Two juries will be seated to decide the fates of Paul Michael Jones and Matthew Wayne Jones. The Newaygo County brothers, now in their 40s, were charged last year with first-degree murder in the beating death of Shannon Siders according to The Muskegon Chronicle.
Jury selection is scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday. The trial itself is set to begin April 20 and is expected to take about two weeks.
Siders' decomposed body was discovered by a hunter about 35 miles northwest of Grand Rapids in the Manistee National Forest three months after her disappearance. An autopsy determined she died of blunt force trauma to the head, and she had other injuries.
