Death Penalty Not Sought

KENTUCKY...
The state will not seek the death penalty as it prosecutes a murder case against three juveniles accused of killing a Daviess County man. The suspects, who were all 17 at the time of the Feb. 10 crime, are accused of fatally shooting Joshua E. Newcomb during a home invasion robbery. Daviess County Sheriff's Department investigators believe the juveniles and two 18-year-olds went to Newcomb's home to rob him of money and drugs. Newcomb died when a shotgun was fired through his door, and the shot struck him in the neck. Commonwealth's Attorney Bruce Kuegel said during a hearing Wednesday that he hasn't decided whether to ask for the death penalty if Joshua P. Orr and Dakota C. Galloway are convicted.
