Man sentenced in 2013 Northern Kentucky murder after reversing confession
Original: Man who confessed to 2013 NKY murder, then later claimed innocence, sentenced
A man who confessed to a 2013 murder in Northern Kentucky, then later claimed he was innocent, has been sentenced. The case drew attention because of his reversal, raising questions about the reliability of the original confession. Details of the sentence length and the defendant's name were not included in initial reports, and it is not yet clear whether he plans to appeal.
Why now: The sentencing closes a years-old murder case in which the defendant's recanted confession raised doubts about his guilt.
