Delays and Interruptions Mar Start of Fourth Pagan Trial in Marion County Circuit Court | Local News


The trial for Austin Mullins, charged with first-degree murder in connection to the Henry Silver Pagan’s murder case, began with interruptions and delays. Marion County Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Sean Murphy laid out the context of the murder at Carolina Arbors Apartments in Carolina, connecting Mullins to the crime. The state alleges the murder was a sanctioned activity by the Pagan’s Motorcycle Club. Mullins’ attorney, Kevin Tipton, faced challenges during the trial, including being unprepared for certain procedures.
Murphy had been in a dispute over letters written by Mullins confessing to the murder, with Lane’s attorney, Elgine McArdle, withholding the originals. The letters were damaging to Mullins’ defense. Murphy criticized defense attorneys for their handling of the case and argued for the letters’ admissibility in court.
The trial ended with Tipton’s cross-examination of a witness interrupted, as the court had to resolve issues with the admissibility of evidence. Jurors were released, and the trial was set to continue the next day. The case was scheduled to resume at 9 a.m. on January 23.
The trial’s proceedings shed light on the prosecution’s effort to tie each defendant to the Pagan’s Motorcycle Club, emphasizing group responsibility for the murder. The defense faced challenges in refuting the evidence presented by the state. The trial marked a significant development in the ongoing legal battle surrounding Silver’s murder, with more revelations expected to come to light as the proceedings continue.
