Woman Convicted Of Manslaughter
KENTUCKY....
After more than eight hours of deliberations, a Rowan Circuit Court jury in Morehead entered a guilty verdict Thursday, finding Pam Bartley guilty of second-degree manslaughter in the shooting death of her husband of 38 years. Carl Bartley was found shot in the head in the garage of the couple's home in Jeffersonville in July 2007. In closing arguments, the defense argued state police had conducted an incomplete investigation by failing to interview people who could have given a more complete picture of what happened, and Katherine Lee, an Irving woman with whom Carl Bartley had a five-year affair, had motive to kill him, saying she was enraged Carl Bartley would not leave his wife for her. But,the Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney said it was Pam Bartley who had motive to kill her husband because he was leaving her.
