Prison Sentence Upheld

KENTUCKY...
A Lexington judge has upheld the prison sentence of a man convicted in the killing of a newlywed. Fayette Circuit Judge James Ishmael on Thursday denied a claim by convict Michael M. Shepherd that he had ineffective legal counsel at the hearing at which he was sentenced to life in prison. He can be paroled after 25 years. Shepherd was convicted in 2006 in the fatal shooting of 18-year-old Megan Liebengood outside her apartment. Shepherd was 16 when Liebengood was murdered. He is now 22.
