Mingo County Couple Facing Death Penalty Get New Trial
Fifty nine year old George "Porgy" Lecco of Red Jacket and 46 year old Valerie Friend of North Matewan were convicted in May 2007 for the death of Carla Collins, a drug informant who was murdered in 2005. The Mingo County couple, who face the death penalty, will now get a new trial because a juror failed to disclose he was under investigation for child pornography. No date has been set.
