An Independence jury returned a not guilty verdict Thursday in the case of a man accused of murdering a door-to-door market researcher in 2004...
Brandy Shipp, the victim’s daughter, watched the trial and held the hand of one of her supporters. She lowered her head when Baldwin showed jurors a photo of her mother’s skull.
The verdict was disappointing but not a complete surprise, she said... “We would have liked to see justice for my mother,” she said. “But fortunately he is already doing life without parole in prison for another murder so he will never be able to do this to another person, and for that we are thankful.”
