The trial for New Port Richey Black Lives Matter activist Marlowe Jones starts today, even though the state attorney prosecuting the case has admitted there is no evidence other than cop testimony. Jury selection began this morning at the Pasco County Courthouse, and the trial will proceed throughout the week. "It was shocking to me and my attorney that the state is going through with this, even though they're lacking evidence to prove their claims against me," Jones told Creative Loafing Tampa Bay.
