Jury selection is scheduled to begin today for the trial of a Lynn man accused of stabbing his mother to death in her Revere home two years ago.

COREY ROCHE (D.O.B. 6/15/84) is charged with first-degree murder and armed assault with intent to murder for allegedly stabbing 42-year-old Lisa Bryson Roche to death inside her Fernview Avenue residence on the afternoon of Feb. 25, 2008.

Revere Police responded to the scene at about 3:15 to find Roche holding a knife and his mother suffering grievous injuries. Officers ordered him to drop his weapon; Roche allegedly refused to do so and instead extended it toward an officer. He sustained a single gunshot wound from a Revere Police service weapon.

The victim and defendant were rushed to area hospitals. The victim was pronounced dead on arrival at Whidden Memorial Hospital; the defendant survived his injury, was arraigned in his bed at Massachusetts General Hospital, and was subsequently indicted by the Suffolk County Grand Jury.

Assistant District Attorney Mark Lee, deputy chief of the district attorney’s Homicide Unit, will try the case. Roche is represented by attorney Robert Wheeler. Judge Charles Spurlock is presiding in courtroom 808 of Suffolk Superior Court.
