GREENVILLE -- A date has been set for the trial of two people accused of killing a well-known Greenville businessman.

The death penalty trial for David Edens and Jennifer Holloway is set for Feb. 13.

Edens and Holloway are accused of kidnapping and killing retired business executive Jim Cockman in September of last year.

Investigators said the couple stole Cockman's SUV and later hid his body in a storage center in Tennessee.

My notes on this: Jim Cockman was a friend of my mother-in-law. What they didn't tell everybody on the news was that they bound this poor man's entire head in duck tape and he suffocated before they even got him to that storage center in Tennessee and put him in a freezer. All b/c he was trying to sell his SUV and they wanted it. They called him and told him they were interested, and when he got to the place he'd put it (sometimes people down here will put cars close to the end of a busy intersection with contact info), they bound him up. I hope these people get what's coming to them.
