A jury trial is scheduled for a father and son charged with a shooting on Labor Day 2014 in Martinsville.
John M. Dixie, 66, and John A. Dixie, 43, were originally charged with attempted murder, but it was later amended to first-degree assault when the pair were indicted in December.
The majority of jury trials do not take place, due to plea agreements being worked out beforehand, but Shelby County Commonwealth Attorney Laura Witt said she expects this one to move forward.
“It’s our plan to go to trial,” she said.
