South Carolina pair charged in double murder plot
Defense attorney W H Taylor argued Baughman should not face death due to alleged mental impairment, a claim rejected by Circuit Judge David Clinger. Baughman and Rose Ellen Cushman, both of Windsor, were charged in the killings. Cushman pleaded guilty in August to two counts of first degree murder and received 40 years after agreeing to testify for the state. Police say the pair were paid between 30 000 and 40 000 to kill Suggs and Kneece, the estranged wife of Cushman's uncle.
