A man and woman will be tried separately for their alleged roles in the murder of four people in Cumberland County.
Jacob Bennett of Crab Orchard and his girlfriend, Brittany Lina Yvonne Moser, of Dayton, were charged with four counts of felony murder and two counts of attempted aggravated robbery.
According to the Cumberland County Criminal Court Clerk's office, a judge ruled last week that Bennett and Moser would be tried separately. Though they face the same charges, prosecutors believe that Bennett was the shooter.
