The victims, David Dominguez and Rabecca Mershon, had recently moved into another rental home on the same property…
Pocock is charged with two counts of murder. Walsh says what sparked the argument is still unclear, with two of the three people involved dead….
Walsh says the maximum penalty is being sought against Pocock, which is life in prison without parole. Pocock is scheduled to be arraigned on December 13th. Walsh says the trial won’t likely begin until early or mid-2020.
