Jury Selection To Begin For Shayna Hubers’ Trial

Posted

(LEX 18)– Attorneys for the Lexington native accused of killing her boyfriend will begin the trial process all over again Wednesday.

Shayna Hubers’ second murder trial will begin at 9 a.m. in Northern Kentucky with jury selection. It’s expected to take up to three days.

Hubers is accused of shooting her on-and-off boyfriend Ryan Poston inside his Highland Heights apartment back in 2012.

She claims she shot him in self-defense.

In 2015, Hubers was convicted of murder and sentenced to 40 years in prison.

The conviction was tossed when a judge discovered that one of the jurors should not have been allowed to serve, because that person had a felony conviction of their own.

A Cincinnati TV station is reporting that opening statements in the trial are expected to begin Monday.
