Charleston Huntington, WV, October 14, 2026 —
Testimony began in Boone County, West Virginia, in the trial of Donna Stone, who is charged in connection with the starvation death of her 14-year-old granddaughter, Kyneddi Miller, according to the available account of the proceedings.
Opening statements were delivered on the first day, followed by testimony from law enforcement officials about findings at the scene. The account does not identify which officials testified or describe the findings they presented. It also does not specify who delivered the opening statements.
Stone is on trial in connection with Miller’s death. The information provided does not state the specific charges, how Stone has pleaded, or the date the trial began. It also does not include details about the circumstances of Miller’s death beyond describing it as a starvation death.
The first day’s proceedings included both opening statements and law enforcement testimony, but further details about the evidence and the testimony were not provided. No information was available about the next scheduled witnesses, the expected length of the trial or when the case might be submitted to a jury.
Those omissions limit what can be reported about the substance of the case at this stage. The available account establishes that testimony has commenced in Boone County and identifies the central connection between Stone and Miller’s death, but it does not provide enough detail to characterize the evidence presented or the arguments made by either side.
