Leslie County Judge Won't Rule Out Death Penalty
KENTUCKY....
A southeastern Kentucky judge in Leslie County has refused Wednesday to rule out the death penalty as a possible punishment for a man accused in the murders of five people. An attempt to put Clayton Jackson on trial earlier this year was delayed by a medical issue, but the trial remains rescheduled for next March. Jackson is accused of killing his friend Chris Sturgill, Sturgill's wife Amanda and their three children four years ago. He was arrested in 2007 after police say he shot Chris Sturgill with a bow and arrow and then burned down his Leslie County trailer with his wife and three young children still inside.
