Megan Boswell murder trial jury selection set for Dec., trial in Feb.​

The Megan Boswell murder case will stay in Sullivan County for now, with jury selection in December and a Feb. 3, 2025 trial date.

Criminal Court Judge James Goodwin ruled that jury selection in the four-year-old case involving the 2020 death of Evelyn Boswell will begin Dec. 16. He declined to grant a defense motion for a change of venue because of publicity around the case.

Goodwin said that a sample jury questionnaire had already been distributed to members of the county's jury pool to gauge public knowledge about the case.


Scott said he expected a sequestered jury in what could be a three-to-four-week trial because of media coverage since the beginning of the case.

“Once the trial starts up, coverage will ramp up,” said Scott.

Harper later said he expects a jury panel of as many as 1,200 people may be needed to find a jury of 12.

“It does give us confidence,” Harper said when asked if the sample questionnaire results indicate if finding a local jury is possible. “This is why we haven’t released a lot of information on the case.”
 
This case has gotten almost no coverage except in the beginning days, unsure about locally. it is far from very publicly followed.

Linda had a live just recently that was kind of an any and all questions and she followed this one from the start and someone asked her what the heck was going on with Boswell.

Four years is beyond enough and yeah as the defense says maybe once it starts coverage will ramp up, is that not always the case?

I have said it before and will again, WE or some of us follow crime and I can talk of the most high profile cases to anyone I know and they generally don't know sh*t about it. Or little. May have a vague memory of a blip about it.

This one has been mostly silent for years unless local news is doing some sensational coverage and I seriously doubt it. Jury pool should not be a problem.

And four years is ridiculous and glad judge denied another motion.

I'm not entirely cold in this one, she was so young with no options and raised by nothing that can be called fit parents imo. I mean the mom. BUT she still did this, and lied and lied and lied. Without hardly blinking. Probably raised by the best at such...

But a little child was murdered.

it's time.
 
I haven't forgotten Evelyn. And there is absolutely no explanation nor excuse for what this case has been stalled for years. I haven't seen anything on it in a long time but ran into one from Vinnie this morning from four days ago, so far it is a refresh on the case and Megan's lies, haven't seen all yet. Nothing new that I KNOW of yet or why he did one now or Court TV did but he and guests are discussing the case.

And I figured Evelyn could use a BIG BUMP and some attention and outrage that this case is stalled for unknown reasons for years.

And it's a refresher to me too even though I recall most of her stories and outrageous lies, etc. and her crocodile tears and even imo a bit of love with the attention of the media...

Heartbreaking. They are playing some of the videos of Evelyn...

 
it's a pretty good show. I mean he has a guest on who covered the case from the start (news reporter, local), showing a lot of what LE said at pressers, etc. I'm not through it all but it's good Evelyn is getting some darned attention! This case has just dwindled and it maddens me as I don't see the reason.
 
I am through most of it now and I am not always a Vinnie or Court TV fan but this is quality and covers a lot. One thing that bothers me in this case, and it is no excuse, is that the mother herself had absolutely no role modeling, teaching of morals, etc. It is NOT an excuse. I don't mean it that way at all. I sit here thinking her county jail life is probably the most stability she herself has ever had in her life. And that does bother me.

They go into all the family history and how most were criminals and had arrests and most pictures they can show of any of her family, mom's bf, etc. are all mug shots...

And she was very young and immature with no help I'm sure.

Again it is not an excuse but I do feel she herself was failed in life big time.

It is a very good show, like I said quality. I have a few minutes left but seen most now.

And this case needs some attention and needs to MOVE.

And they gave it that.

This case is unforgettable, but it has become very quiet and off radar and constantly quietly delayed for who knows the reasons...
