Opening statements were heard yesterday in the trial of former Sarasota County Deputy Frank Bybee. The 37-year old Bybee is accused of stealing thousands of dollars from an elderly woman and then trying to kill her and frame it as a suicide. Bybee denies the charges, claiming the woman has mental health issues. He was arrested in January after the woman filed a complaint with the Sarasota County Sheriff’s office.  Following an investigation, 18 charges were filed against Bybee.  Jury selection was completed on Tuesday.
