Trials From Paseo LaRhonda Lazore Faces Capital Murder Claims
Lazore and Willie Hurst faced multiple indictments in a complex Paseo case. Lazore was convicted in 2001 and given 10 years probation. Hurst’s trial setup moved multiple times as attorneys faced conflicts of interest and changes in representation. The case ties to the 2008 Thornhill slaying with crossbow violence and a related life-without-parole sentence for Derek Elms.
