Court Won't Hear Appeal In Manns Murder Case
The West Virginia Supreme Court refused to hear Curtis J. Manns’s appeal to keep his murder case in juvenile court rather than transfer to adult court. Manns was 17 when Elmer Hutchens was killed during a February 1981 Wolfe County robbery attempt. The court also agreed to review Joey Hall’s first degree murder conviction tied to the April 1981 shooting near Campus over trial witnesses. Hall faces a life sentence with parole eligibility after 10 years.
