Joshua Knighten, 35, is charged with capital murder in the Feb. 5 shooting deaths of Mitchell Ray Beard, 62, and his 36-year-old stepson Marcus Ken Reed.
Morgan County District Judge Kevin Kusta ruled after Friday’s preliminary hearing that there was probable cause that Knighten committed the crimes and he bound the case over to a grand jury.
After the shootings, according to a Sheriff’s Office affidavit, Knighten called 911 and told the dispatcher, “I told them after I left out that door and nobody told me who had been stealing from my uncle, that they was ready to die.”According to Brooks, who said he was relying on the interview with Knighten and statements by other witnesses, Knighten first retrieved a Springfield XDM Elite 9mm pistol and shot Reed one time in the head while they were inside the house.
Conley then drove another 5 miles to the Falkville Police Department. A Falkville officer alerted the Sheriff’s Office that she was there after sheriff’s deputies arrived at the shooting scene. She was transported by medical helicopter from the police station to Huntsville Hospital. On cross-examination, White asked if Brooks attempted to contact either of Knighten’s lawyers about the planned interview. “Nope,” Brooks responded.
White said more will be learned about how the second interview came about after he and Burney file a motion to suppress statements Knighten made during the interview.
