TAMPA - Nathaniel Jackson, one of two suspects accused of murdering Tampa businessman Jeffrey Dampier Jr. in July, pleaded not guilty at his arraignment today. Jackson and Dampier's sister-in-law, Victoria Jackson, 23, are accused of kidnapping the former Illinois lottery winner, robbing him of thousands of dollars, beating him and shooting him to death.
Victoria Jackson, who is also Nathaniel Jackson's girlfriend, entered a not guilty plea in August.
While the Jacksons have different attorneys, they're expected to be tried together. At the next court hearing, Oct. 19, the prosecution plans to announce whether it will seek the death penalty, prosecutor Jalal Harb said.
