Back in December 2009, I blogged about the murder of IU professor Don Belton by the hand of his student Michael James Griffin. At the time, Michael showed no remorse and claimed that Don tried to sexually assaulted him. There were no evidence to this claim and Michael was arrested.
Now, his trial is about the start.
The trial of Michael James Griffin, who allegedly murdered English professor Don Belton in December 2009, begins today with jury selection.I will keep folks updated about this trial.
Belton, 53, taught creative writing for IU’s English department during the 2008-09 school year. He worked and lived in Philadelphia before coming to Indiana.
Griffin, now 26, graduated from Bloomington High School South before serving in the Marine Corps, where he fought in the battle of Fallujah and earned a purple heart.
Bloomington Police Department arrested Griffin, and he confessed to murdering Belton, according to the police affidavit.
Monroe Circuit Judge Teresa Harper will oversee the trial, which is scheduled to take place every day this week in the Monroe County Justice Building.
