Live Oak —
Jury selection for one of the accused murderers of three members of a McAlpin family in 2010 is set to begin Monday.
Lonnie Robert Munn’s trial is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. on Tuesday, if a jury can be seated, according to Suwannee County Felony Clerk Trudy Meeks.
The trial was continued several times, with the last date set for the week of June 25-29. However, that continuance came after Munn requested a new attorney.
Munn filed a motion to the court requesting the dismissal of his defense attorney, Jeffrey A. Siegmeister of Lake City. Munn cited in his motion that Siegmeister also represented a special agent for the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, who was actively involved in the investigation of the 10 counts Munn faces.
Siegmeister was dismissed on May 7 and replaced with Walter Flinn of Marsee and Flinn P.L.L.C. in Lake City.
Munn is accused in the August 2010 McAlpin triple murder and robbery of Joseph Militello Jr., 57, his wife Nancy L. Militello, 68 and their nephew Angelo Rosales, 32.
James Lindzay Howze, Munn’s co-defendant, was scheduled for trial last fall but agreed to a plea bargain offered by the state and was sentenced to prison for life without any chance of parole. The third co-defendant in the case, Keith Allen Hughes hung himself in a Suwannee County Jail cell on Sept. 25, 2010.
