A jury of eight women and four men has been selected to hear the case against 31-year-old Roy H. Murry, who faces three counts of aggravated murder in connection to the deaths of his estranged wife’s family.

The Whitworth football team did not receive an at-large bid to the NCAA Division III tournament, but the record-setting Pirates did have 15 players recognized by the Northwest Conference.

Roy H. Murry either planned and carried out a “swift attack” in May 2015, when he shot three members of his estranged wife’s family and then waited in vain to ambush her before setting fire to the victims’ Colbert home; or Murry, a 31-year-old Republican who was once considered to fill an open state Senate seat, is the victim of Spokane County sheriff’s detectives who immediately focused on the disabled Iraq War vet and pulled out every stop to convince prosecutors he’s a killer. “Mr. Murry has no history of violence,” Public Defender Tom Krzyminski wrote earlier this year in court records. “To date, the physical evidence against Mr. Murry is either nonexistent or a stretch of the limits of imagination.”

The decision whether to pursue a felony assault charge against Washington State lineman Robert Barber may not come before the end of the year even as attorneys will make arguments next week before a judge about the process used to suspend him.

While many students, parents and one lawmaker spoke Thursday in support of Robert Barber’s return to class at Washington State University, attorneys representing the school wrote in court records filed this week that Barber acknowledged hitting a student who already had been knocked down. They also detailed a previous incident in 2015 when the football player was cited for threatening an off-duty police officer.

The No. 8 Linfield Wildcats jumped all over Whitworth early and hung on for a 45-31 win Saturday at the Pine Bowl. The Wildcats defense held Whitworth to a season low 318 yards, including only 25 yards on the ground, while racking up 664 total yards in the game was not as close as the final score indicated.
