Jury Finds Logan County Man Not Guilty Of Murder
A Logan County man has been acquitted of a murder charge. Thirty-one-year-old Carl Goff of Man was found not guilty yesterday after a six-day trial in Logan County Circuit Court. Goff is one of three men charged in the death of 28-year-old Wendy Baisden, whose burned remains were found in a parked car near Logan in January of 2005. Matthew James White pleaded guilty to the first-degree murder charge last year. Evidence presented by the defense during the trial indicated that Goff was not on the scene when White allegedly set fire to Baisden’s vehicle after what he said was an apparent overdose.
