HILLSDALE, MI (WTVB) – A three day murder trial for 40-year-old Jay Scott Clark of Bryan, Ohio is scheduled to get underway Wednesday morning in Hillsdale County Circuit Court.
He was one of the two suspects charged in the death of 37-year-old Jeremy Alan Barron of Camden.
27-year-old Ashley Diane Hoath of Hillsdale has already entered a guilty plea to a charge of second degree murder and it scheduled to be sentenced next month.
She is expected to testify against Clark.
Clark was convicted last September by a Hillsdale County Circuit Court jury for carrying a concealed weapon and possession of methamphetamine in an unrelated case and was ordered to serve between 22 months and 20 years in prison.
Authorities say Barron was shot to death somewhere in Hillsdale County February 8, 2017. His body was placed in a field off of Dimmers Road in Camden Township before it was discovered by some Amish children riding their horses almost two months later.
