WV Supreme Court Over Turns Two Convictions
The West Virginia State Supreme Court unanimously overturned the convictions of Betty Jarvis and Wanda Carney.
Both women were convicted of conspiracy and obstruction after allegedly interfering in the 2005 probe of drug informant Carla Collins.
Jarvis is the aunt of Walter Harmon, who was among those charged in a plot to kill Collins and Carney worked for Harmon’s defense lawyer.
The two women were sentenced to three years probation and community service.
The high court said the duo’s actions did not amount to crimes.
