Mercer County Man Sentenced
WEST VIRGINIA....
Twenty-five year old Terry Allen Blevins of Princeton was sentenced in Mercer Circuit Court this week to life in prison without parole. He was convicted last month of two counts of first-degree murder and one count of first-degree arson. Prosecutors say, in August 2008, Blevins killed James and Delores Barton, who were both 74 years old, and then torched their home on U.S. 19 between Princeton and Kegley in an effort to cover up the crime.
