On Monday, March 16th, Jared Graybeal’s murderer, Thomas Steele Dail, plead guilty to First Degree Murder and received Life in Prison without the possibility of parole.
Dail was already in prison, serving a life sentence for the murder of Charles Kornegay, a NC DMV examiner, that had occurred in Duplin County on November 11, 1995...
When asked if the death penalty was an option in this case, Jared’s brother, David Graybeal said, “They took the death penalty out for his confession and plea.” He also said “the entire confession was not read in court” and very few details were provided to answer why he committed the heinous crime.
