Judge Refuses To Allow Accused Murderer To Cast Ballot
WEST VIRGINIA....
Kanawha Circuit Judge Carrie Webster was arraigning 32 year old David W. Kinney, who was arrested Friday by Charleston Police and charged with the July 4th fatal shooting of 31 year old Jeremy Parsons of Poca when Kinney's attorney, Richard Holicker, asked that he be allowed to take Kinney to the Voter's Registration Office so he could cast his ballot. Webster denied that request, citing concerns of public safety. Kinney pleaded not guilty to the charge of first-degree murder, and Webster denied bond. Holicker says Kinney takes his right to vote very seriously, and, while convicted felons cannot vote, Kinney has not yet been convicted of anything.
