Deliberations set to start in Baughman capital murder case
Jurors in the James Baughman capital murder trial in Bentonville Ark will begin deliberations Tuesday morning. He is accused of killing Joanne Kneece and James Suggs in Pea Ridge in October 1999. Rose Ellen Cushman, a key witness, testified she watched the deaths and has pleaded guilty to two counts of first degree murder and received a 40 year sentence. Prosecutors noted blood evidence from Baughman’s boots and Cushman’s account aligned with autopsy results. The defense rested Monday and both sides delivered closing arguments. Cushman testified she lied at first but later told the truth after her plea agreement. The trial pauses pending verdict. Cushman and Baughman allegedly were paid to kill the two victims.
