Felony-Murder Rule Key To Williams' Conviction

West Virginia jurors wrestled with the felony murder rule in Ronald Williams's trial for the 1979 West Virginia Penitentiary escape. Prosecutors argued the rule enabled a murder conviction without proving Williams fired the fatal shot. Williams and three others were convicted after lengthy deliberations, while defense counsel warned the rule punishes a bad result and can sidestep direct evidence of intent.

West Virginia lawmakers seek court to fix ballot amendment numbering

Charleston AP Speaker Clyde Lee said he will ask the state Supreme Court to force Secretary of State A James Manchin to correct the ballot, where constitutional amendments are misnumbered as 1, 1 and 3. Lee directed legislative services to file suit next week, noting potential county ballot-printing costs but urging clarity for voters. The Supreme Court term begins soon, and Manchin has not acted despite an attorney general opinion supporting authority to adjust the numbers.
