EDWARDSVILLE — The trial of Bryce V. Andrews commenced today at the Madison County Justice Center, with Judge Neil Schroeder presiding. Andrews, who is facing multiple charges related to the deaths of his adoptive father and his father’s husband, opted for a bench trial instead of a jury trial. He is represented by Ginny Smith and Mary Copeland from the Madison County Public Defenders Office. During opening statements, the Assistant States Attorney outlined the prosecution's case, stating that evidence would reveal the victims were stabbed 117 times.
