My Edmonds News is following the trial of Shoreline resident Christopher Cowan, accused of attempted first degree murder in the stabbing attack on a Domino's Pizza driver in Edmonds.

Reporter Larry Vogel covered the opening arguments in Snohomish County Superior Court on Tuesday, October 20.

With jury selection complete, the trial of 34-year-old Christopher Cowan of Shoreline for attempted murder in connection with the Jan. 17 stabbing of Edmonds Dominos Pizza delivery driver Mike Brenick got underway Tuesday with opening arguments in Snohomish County Superior Court. 

Snohomish County prosecutor Craig Matheson began the day presenting his case to the jury. Describing in meticulous detail the sequence of events leading up to the attack and culminating in Cowan’s arrest three days later, Matheson led the jury step by step through his case against the defendant.
