Jury Returns Guilty Verdict In Kidnapping/Murder Case
KENTUCKY...
Jurors have found a south-central Kentucky man guilty of kidnapping and murder in the death of his girlfriend four years ago. The Daily News of Bowling Green reports a Warren County jury deliberated for five hours on Thursday before convicting 50-year-old Lawrence Robert Stinnett on both counts in the beating death of 29-year-old Christina Renshaw. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty. Stinnett acted as lead counsel in his own defense during the trial after having conflicts with his attorneys over strategy.
