Friday, December 1st:
*Motion for New Penalty Phase Sentencing Trial (found Guilty on 11/2) @ 8:30am CT - MO - Hailey Owens (10) (Feb. 18, 2014) - Craig Michael Wood (45 @ time of crime) - indicted & found guilty of 1st degree murder, kidnapping, rape, sodomy & armed criminal action/DP Case. Jurors sequestered: 7 women & 5 men/3 alternates Nov. 6th State & Defense rested; closing arguments & jury instructions 11/6 It took the jury a little more than four hours to reach the no decision verdict in the sentencing phase. It took the jury just an hour to convict Wood of first-degree murder Thursday. It is still unclear if Craig Wood will live or die. So what's next? Judge Thomas Mountjoy demanded the defense file a motion for a new sentencing trial by December 1. A hearing on that motion will be held January 11 @ 2:30pm. If the judge overrules that motion, it will go directly to sentencing.
