Case Details
Defendant accused of first-degree murder (shooting and killing a Kanawha County man). After a jury trial resulted in a hung jury, the defendant was allowed to plead to the lesser charge of second-degree murder, receiving a minimum 10-year imprisonment sentence.
Additional Notes
Defendant was expected to be released after approximately 8 years contingent upon time off for good behavior. This result would not have been possible without Mr. Van Bibber's trial experience which resulted in the initial hung jury.
