Strip Club Owner Gets Life
KENTUCKY...
A one-time strip club owner from northern Kentucky has been sentenced to life in prison for the 1994 slaying and dismemberment of a woman.
Special Judge David Melcher on Friday sentenced 62-year-old Raymond Clutter in the death of Peggy Casey of Covington. Melcher found Clutter guilty of murder, but acquitted him of rape, after a bench trial in July.
Clutter declined to make a statement at the hearing. His attorney, Jason Gilbert, said his client plans to appeal.
Parts of Casey's body had been found in three southwestern Ohio counties. Casey was the daughter of Clutter's ex-girlfriend.
Clutter is already serving a 20-year prison term on a sodomy conviction in a separate case.
