During testimony in the Anthony Hopkins case in August 2008, a Jackson businessman described knowing Hopkins and his family when they lived in the city, according to WKRG.
Daniel Maharrey said that he and his wife had helped feed the Hopkins children and that Hopkins had told them his wife, Arletha Hopkins, had died. Maharrey’s testimony was reported as the case proceeded in court after Arletha Hopkins’ body was discovered.
This report reflects testimony and allegations presented in the 2008 proceedings. It should be read as a historical account of what was reported in court at that time.
