Bridwell Receives 20 Year Addition to Life Sentence
Jerry Lee Bridwell, 24, Charleston, was given a 20 year prison term in Marshall County Circuit Court after a conviction for armed robbery. This adds to a prior life sentence for a Kanawha County rape in 1961. The robbery stemmed from an escape from Moundsville Penitentiary on January 8, with guards firing at Bridwell during the escape and a court appearance the prior Tuesday ending in a failed breakout attempt. Armed guards with a shotgun protected the one day trial amid ongoing investigations and staff dismissals related to the escape.
