Accused of killing a friend who reportedly insulted his mother, Wesley Lex Leverett will face trial for first-degree murder in September for the death of Barry Cole. Family members who prosecutors say conspired to help Leverett cover up the murder will be tried separately after the court decided to sever their cases. The trial date for Leverett is set for Sept. 17, 2018.
