Corbin man found guilty of three counts of murder
A Corbin man was found guilty of the 2018 murders of Aaron Byers, Mary Jackson, Tiffany Byers and the fetal homicide of Tiffany Byers’ unborn child Thursday evening in Whitley Circuit Court.
Paul Brock, of Corbin, was also found guilty of one count of tampering with physical evidence.
The 12-member jury returned the verdict at approximately 7:15 p.m.
The verdict was reached after nine days of testimony. Jury selection began on March 1.
“We appreciate the jury’s service,” said Commonwealth’s Attorney Ronnie Bowling after the verdict was announced. “They put their life on hold for a month for a four-week trial, and we are just extremely grateful they listened to the evidence and gave it meaningful weight. We are grateful on behalf of the victims’ family for the verdict that was returned.”
The sentencing deliberations are expected to take place on Tuesday.
Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.

After hearing all the scientific evidence including the DNA found under Mrs. Jackson’s fingernails, reports of violence/domestic abuse between Tiffany and Aaron AKA “Big Pun”, all the obvious coercion in the form of the prosecution’s witnesses’ own felony charges being dismissed and Justin’s prison sentence being reduced and his evident lies ( i.e. nobody can jump out a 7-foot high, from the ground window headfirst and land on their feet unless they are a cat), the jury decided to throw common sense and the idea of beyond a reasonable doubt out of the courtroom and find Paul guilty of all charges.
