Motherwell Sentencing Due Today in California Slaying
Motherwell, convicted of first degree murder for the slaying of 72 year old Pearl Putney, faces life imprisonment rather than the death penalty. Judge Warren Steel and District Attorney Gordon Smith urge a minimum term above the usual life requirements, to be reviewed by the California Adult Authority if parole is sought in 19%. The case ties to a 1958 cross country trip from Washington DC and later discovery of Putney's remains in the mountains.
