A Washington County man accused of killing his father-in-law has been indicted with aggravated murder.
Gerald Smith has been formally charged with aggravated murder, two counts of aggravated burglary, two counts of aggravated robbery, tampering with evidence, and three grand theft charges.
In June 49-year old Smith was arrested for allegedly killing his father-in-law Homer Rogers.
Washington County Assistant Prosecutor Kevin Rings said based on evidence, they believe Smith used a knife to kill Rogers and then left in the victim's truck with a gun from the house and cash that Rogers had on him.
Rings says he believes the case does not meet the criteria for the death penalty.
Smith remained in jail Thursday.
Brandon Marino was indicted in connection to the alleged burglary and rape of a Marietta College student in February of 2009.
