The victim's other brother, who had also been scheduled to testify, was slain nine weeks prior. But these are real-life allegations out of Alabama, where Montgomery Circuit Judge Roman Shaul on Tuesday declared a mistrial in the assault-and-attempted-murder case of Jacquees Boone. The mistrial came after Boone's brother, Josephus Boone, was arrested and charged with capital murder in the fatal shooting of Kelvin Cooley, 31, who had just testified against Jacquees Boone. Investigators from the Montgomery County District Attorney's Office had escorted Cooley to his vehicle Monday afternoon. It appears Cooley exited his vehicle and returned fire before collapsing, police say.
