GALESBURG, Ill. — A defense expert will be allowed to monitor DNA testing conducted in the first trial of a man charged with killing eight people in Illinois and Missouri last summer.
Knox County Circuit Judge James Stewart said in a Wednesday hearing in the trial of Nicholas Sheley that his attorneys also can ask the lab that tests the DNA for a roster of the people who handle evidence.
Sheley faces first-degree murder charges in the June deaths. The 29-year-old has pleaded not guilty.
The trial in Galesburg is for just one of the deaths, that of 65-year-old Ronald Randall of Galesburg.
A report on Sheley’s competence to stand trial and represent himself, as he has requested, is due late this month.
