Nearly 16 months after a city worker found the body of a mentally disabled Staunton man who was stabbed 11 times in the head and eight times in the neck, the teen accused in the killing will stand trial Tuesday on a charge of first-degree murder.
Isaiah D. Stuart, 17, of Staunton, is charged in the slaying of 26-year-old Julian Parrott, killed in May 2014 on the city’s public golf course in Staunton.
The case has seen delays in part because of two psychological evaluations and a postponement in July by Stuart’s defense attorney, who asked that the trial be pushed back when personal family issues arose.
Based on evidence heard at Stuart’s preliminary hearing last summer, police said the suspect, 16 at the time, told them he met Parrott the night of May 7, 2014, at the golf course in Gypsy Hill Park. Stuart claimed Parrott paid him for sexual favors in the past, and said on the night in question he again met with Parrott for sex.
Based on police testimony, Stuart claimed he refused the alleged sex request. Stuart said Parrott, in an effort to get him to stay, grabbed him as he tried to leave. Stuart told police he responded by pulling a knife and stabbing Parrott multiple times.
A city employee cutting grass near the golf course’s 18th hole discovered Parrott’s body the next morning.
