Man Convicted For Son's Murder
WEST VIRGINIA....
Following a two-day trial this week, a Fayette County Circuit Court jury has convicted 35 year old Henry Clay Jenkins of Oak Hill of first-degree murder in connection with the death of his 14 year old son, Christian Clay Jenkins. Prosecutors say Christian Jenkins, who had cystic fibrosis, died in 2008, five days after his father gave him Oxycodone. Henry Jenkins faces life in prison when sentenced June 23rd. The jury recommended mercy, meaning he would be eligible for parole after serving 15 years.
