Assistant Attorney General Gary McKenzie questioned TBI Investigator Dan Friel about ties that Moser may have to Cumberland County. Friel replied that Moser had none.

Friel also testified that Moser’s stories about the incident were not consistent and that Moser told officers she knew about Jacob Allen Bennett’s alleged plan to either rob or kill the four at a meeting set up on Renegade Mountain that day.

Friel went on to testify that after the incident, Moser and Bennett returned to Dayton, stopped at a store and a Redbox and went to Moser’s apartment.

Friel added that Moser told investigators that Bennett allegedly cleaned the suspected weapon used the morning after the incident.

General McKenzie then told Judge David Patterson that no death penalty intention has been announced for Moser therefore making her eligible for a bond.

CROSSVILLE — An effort to get the judge to accept a defendant's courtroom utterance of "guilty" during arraignment on a 10-count indictment for the deaths of four young Cumberland Countians failed and it is expected that this week's ruling will be appealed.

Criminal Court Judge David Patterson Wednesday denied defense attorney Robert Marlow's motion to toss the state's notice of enhanced punishment against Jacob Allen Bennett, 26, who is charged in the September 2013 shooting deaths of Danielle Rikki Jacobsen, 27, her nephew Dominic Davis, 17, Steven Presley, 17 and John Lajeunesse, 16. -

Jacob Bennett has waived his right to appear in court for future hearings in his 10-count indictment relating to the shooting deaths of four persons on Renegade Mountain in September of last year.

Sources have told the Chronicle that Bennett does not want to return to the Cumberland County Jail because of concern for his safety. Criminal Court Judge David Patterson granted Bennett's request that he not be required to attend future hearings leading up to his trial.

Department of Corrections to as soon as possible transport Bennett back to prison following Wednesday's hearing and, after consulting with the sheriff's department, ordered that the sheriff's department return him if TDOC officials had not come to pick Bennett up by 4 p.m.

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.

A man has pleaded guilty to killing four people who were found shot to death in 2013 on Renegade Mountain in Cumberland County.

The plea calls for a sentence of life without the possibility of parole, pending approval of the court.

No sentencing date yet.
