Trial starting for murder of political strategist
RALEIGH (WTVD) — Jury selection is slated to start Monday in the trial of the man accused in the 2013 stabbing death of Democrat fundraiser Jamie Hahn.
Hahn (left, pictured with husband Nation Hahn), a rising star in state Democratic politics, was stabbed in her north Raleigh home on April 22, 2013 after she allegedly confronted Jonathan Broyhill about money missing from a congressional campaign.
Before jury selection began, Broyhill’s attorney told the judge that his client tried to commit suicide.
According to an autopsy done by the state medical examiner, the 29-year-old was stabbed 24 times, which included wounds to her hands, arms, face, neck and back.
