Evidence Pending Against Naomi Cloud Preserved By Bond
Mercer County Prosecuting Attorney David W. Knight asked Fayette County Circuit Court to preserve key testimony in the Naomi Cloud murder case. Judge Zane Summerfield granted the motion to depose witness John Elmer Corprew Jr. and place his testimony on record for use if Cloud is captured or unavailable. Corprew has agreed to testify against Cloud in exchange for a plea deal, and details describe a scheme involving Cloud and others to hire a gunman to kill her husband. The case centers on Cloud, her former lover, and co-defendant Corprew, with a Roanoke man charged in the murder. The deposition seeks to safeguard testimony amid Cloud’s fugitive status and ongoing national manhunt.
