Criminal Court Judge Boyd Patterson has taken over a capital murder case in Hamilton County that dates back to May 2016. He did so after Judge Amanda Dunn in Division II recused herself in the case in which Courtney High and Andre Grier are charged with carrying out the slaying of a state witness. Charles Shelton was also charged, but he died while incarcerated at Silverdale in September of 2021. He was 31. Judge Dunn, a former criminal defense attorney, had a conflict in the case. Former District Attorney Neal Pinkston opted to seek the death penalty against those charged.
