RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - Testimony is scheduled to begin Monday in the trial of a man accused of killing five people in a string of robberies in North Carolina.
Samuel J. Cooper could face the death penalty if convicted.
He's charged with five counts of murder in the deaths of Osama "Samuel" Haj-Hussein, LeRoy Jernigan, Timothy David Barnwell, Ricky High and Tariq Hussain.
Cooper was arrested in November 2007 and accused of robbing a Garner bank. At the time, investigators found a 9 mm handgun that was linked to a string of seemingly unrelated slayings that happened in a 17-month period in 2006 and 2007.
