Re-Trial Date Set For Mingo Couple
An October 27th. trial date has been set for George "Porgy" Lecco and Valerie Friend, both from Mingo County, who were convicted and sentenced to death in 2007 for the 2005 murder of federal drug informant Carla Collins. The couple will be re-tried in federal court after the original verdict was overturned because of misconduct by a juror who failed to disclose he was being investigated for child pornography. Friend and Lecco entered not guilty pleas Tuesday.
