Mouton recuses himself from trial of alleged killer of Carthage couple

Jasper County Judge David Mouton recused himself Thursday from handling the trial of Darren Winans, 22, Jasper, one of two men accused of committing the Oct. 11 murders of Bob and Ellen Sheldon of Carthage.

Mouton cited his long acquaintance with the Sheldons as the reason for his decision.

The case has been transferred to Judge Gayle Crane, according to Jasper County Circuit Court online records.
