Round II of Quincy's Trial of the Century is scheduled to begin July 25, when former University of Illinois football star Curt Lovelace faces a second trial for the alleged 2006 murder of his wife, Cory Lovelace.
Lovelace's first trial, which lasted two weeks, ended in a mistrial Feb. 5 after jurors were unable to reach a verdict.
The mystery surrounding the death of 38-year-old Cory Lovelace is dual in nature.
While prosecutors try to prove that Curt Lovelace is responsible for his wife's untimely death, the defense contends that no crime occurred. They assert that Cory Lovelace died of natural causes from health problems caused by chronic alcoholism and bulimia.
