Thomas, Lee await jury pre-trial after short delay

By Gus Bode

Apollonia Thomas and Gary Lee Starks await their jury pre-trials after the scheduled pre-trials were postponed Monday because Jackson County State’s Attorney Mike Wepsiec was out of town.

The Jackson County Clerks Office did not have a rescheduled time for Thomas and Starks. Wepsiec is expected to return Tuesday.

Thomas is charged in the October shooting death of her five-year-old daughter Victoria.
