Court overturns Raleigh man's murder conviction
The West Virginia Supreme Court overturned Marvin S. Mills's 1999 murder conviction for the shooting death of Pamela Cabe in Beckley. The court ordered a new trial, ruling the trial court should have excused a juror who said a Beckley officer's testimony would carry “a little greater weight” due to a longtime friendship.
