Murder Trial Begins for Man Accused of Fatal Driveway Shooting

Defense Claims 'Terrible Accident' Involving Defective Gun, Prosecution Alleges Reckless Behavior and Misleading Information

Kevin Monahan, 66, is on trial for second-degree murder in the death of 20-year-old Kaylin Gillis, who was shot after she and her friends mistakenly turned into Monahan's driveway.
Monahan's defense attorney argues that the shooting was a 'terrible accident' involving a defective gun, claiming that Monahan fired a warning shot and the gun discharged a second time when he stumbled.
Prosecutors argue that Monahan recklessly caused Gillis' death and later provided misleading information about the shooting.
Gillis' friends called for help once they found a cellphone signal several miles away, but emergency workers were unable to save her.
The trial, which is expected to last several weeks, has drawn significant attention and complicated jury selection.
