Citrus County Courthouse Exterior

The Citrus County Courthouse in Inverness.

Trial preparations are almost halfway done for Samuel Marvin Thomas, the Sumter County man accused of killing a teenager before kidnapping his ex-girlfriend and fleeing into Citrus County, where he was apprehended.

Roughly four dozen witnesses remain to be deposed in the Bushnell 49-year-old’s criminal case, which, at this moment, isn’t likely to resolve with a plea offer from the prosecution.
