A 60-day clock started Wednesday for Kootenai County prosecutors who need to decide whether to seek the death penalty against Jonathan Renfro. Renfro, charged with the murder of Coeur d'Alene Police Sgt. Greg Moore in May, was arraigned Wednesday in 1st District Court. A not-guilty plea to six felony charges was entered on his behalf by the court as he stood silent. According to Idaho code, a death sentence can't be imposed unless prosecutors file written notice of their intent to seek that sentence no later than 60 days after a plea is entered. Kootenai County Deputy Prosecutor David Robins said a decision hasn't been made on whether to seek the death penalty. Renfro's public defender, John Adams, told Judge Lansing Haynes during the hearing that the defense early on sought to make a deal and plead guilty in exchange for a life sentence recommendation, but prosecutors declined the offer/David Cole, Coeur d'Alene Press.
