Opening statements in the penalty phase of Patrick McDowell’s case begin Monday morning at the Nassau County Courthouse in Yulee.

McDowell shot and killed Deputy Joshua Moyers during a traffic stop in Callahan in 2021.

He pleaded guilty to the charges, and now, a jury will hear arguments about how McDowell should pay for his crime.
