Daniel Messel trial to begin week of Aug. 1

The trial for Daniel Messel is set to begin Monday, Aug. 1.

Messel is on trial for the murder of Hannah Wilson, who was an IU senior at the time of her death in April 2015.

After his trial being pushed back by more than a year, jury selection will begin July 28. During the selection process Brown County Circuit Court Judge Judith Stewart could decide that a change of venue is needed in order to get an unbiased jury, which would push back the trial again.

The trial is set to begin 8 a.m. and will take place at the Brown County Courthouse.

The Indiana Daily Student will continue to report on this trial and will update our website, idsnews.com, with complete coverage until we resume our print edition Aug. 18.
