KNOXVILLE – A Knox County widow, accused of murder in the deaths of two husbands, is being retried in one of the cases.
WBIR-TV reported jury selection is scheduled to begin Monday for a second trial of Raynella Dossett-Leath in the shooting death of her second husband, David Leath. He was killed in March 2003.
The first trial ended with a hung jury 10 months ago. The defense maintains Leath shot himself.
Dossett-Leath is separately charged in the 1992 death of Ed Dossett, who was the Knox County district attorney. His death was initially attributed to being trampled by cattle on his farm.
Prosecutors now say Dossett, who had cancer, died from an intentional overdose of morphine.
