Darold Shorter murder trial under way

YOUNGSTOWN — A Mahoning County assistant prosecutor said Darold Shorter deliberately stabbed to death a 33-year-old city man early last year.

Court proceedings in the case against Shorter, 42, of West Earle Avenue, were put on hold Monday when he suffered an asthma attack in the court. The jury of eight woman and four men reconvened today for opening statements in the case.

Shorter is on trial for the Jan. 28, 2010, murder of Lamont Brown who was found stabbed multiple times in his West Earle home.

The trial is being heard in the courtroom of Judge Lou A. D’Apolito of Mahoning County Common Pleas Court.
