Trials are scheduled in 2009 for two cousins charged with capital murder in the death of a Charlottesville woman.

Twenty-two-year-old William Douglas Gentry is scheduled to stand trial starting February 23 in Charlottesville Circuit Court. Nineteen-year-old Michael Pritchett's trial is set to begin June 8.

Gentry and Pritchett were indicted last February in the death of 26-year-old Jayne McGowan.

Co-workers found McGowan's body in her home on November 9, 2007, after she didn't show up for work.

If convicted, both men could face the death penalty. Both are being held without bond at the Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail.
