SULLIVAN COUNTY, Tenn. (WJHL) — Jury selection for Megan Boswell’s murder trial begins on Monday.
Prosecutors and Boswell’s defense will attempt to seat a jury for the Sullivan County trial, which is expected to last for weeks.
Once a jury is finalized, the trial will begin the next day with opening statements.
News Channel 11 will provide daily coverage and updates of the trial. After the jury is selected, each day of the trial will be live-streamed on WJHL.com.
Boswell faces numerous charges in the death of her baby daughter, Evelyn, including one count of first-degree murder and two counts of felony murder. She has also been charged with aggravated child abuse, aggravated child neglect, tampering with evidence, abuse of a corpse, failure to report a death under suspicious, unusual or unnatural circumstances and 12 counts of false report.
Evelyn’s remains were found on a family member’s property in March 2020 after an AMBER Alert was issued the month before. Numerous searches were conducted while the alert was active.
Boswell is the only person who has been charged in relation to her 15-month-old daughter’s death. She has remained in jail since her initial arrest in late February 2020 when she was charged with one count of false report.
In August 2020, a grand jury indicted Boswell on 19 charges, including the two felony murder counts. She was later indicted on the first-degree murder charge in June 2024.
