On Monday in Wilmington,Ohio, Cheyne Kehoe was convicted
one count of attempted murder. He recieved the conviction for his part
n a shootout that occurred earlier this year between him and two Ohio Highway
Patrol officers.
Cheyne opened fire on two police officers, J. Harnold
|
Harker, and his fellow dupety Robert Gates. Cheyne ran
off and became fugitivs until Cheyne broke down and surrendered in June
and told officers where his brother could be found.
The jury, found Mr. Kehoe guilty of attempted murder
of Clinton County deputy Roberts, but
|
found him not guilty of attempted murder of Ohio State
Highway patrol trooper J. Harold Harker.
"The tape showed clearly that Mr. Kehoe had fired
at least three times at deputy Gates", teh jury said, but there was
insufficient evidence to show that he had fired upon trooper
|
Harker.
"Jurors had praise for the actions of the officers,
but thought the defense has made a strong case in behalf of Mr. Kehoe",
he said.
Now the brothers must await, to see what the judge and
jury decide
|
the Kehoe brother's conviction.
The two brothers were stopped by police on a warrant
for Chevie for the murder of William Mueller,52, his wife Nancy,28, and
their daughter Sara Elizabeth Powell, 8.
