Jury Rules Manslaughter In Collins Murder Trial
A Linn County jury found Raydell L. Collins guilty of manslaughter in the 1973 Cedar Rapids shooting of his wife Beverly. The nine men and three women deliberated about five hours after being given the case, with sentencing set for February 21 at 1 15 p.m. The trial began on an open murder charge, and prosecutors argued malice while Collins claimed accidental discharge. The defense noted a possible provocation during a prior argument, but police testified the weapon was fired within six inches of the head. Collins may remain free on recognizance until sentencing.
