Tainted love: Behind the Morris Murder Trial
By his own admission to police, the Alvin Lee "Butch" Morris of 20 years ago was an alcoholic, a womanizer, and a liar– a man who left his first wife and kids for a recently widowed woman.

That's what a jury had to decide after five days of testimony in an Albemarle County Circuit Court trial that started July 6, when Butch Morris was tried for the 1988 murder of Roger Lee Shifflett, the husband of Barbara, the woman with whom Morris was smitten and whom he married a year after Shifflett's death.
