Jury Finds Ellington Guilty Again

A jury today convicted a North Idaho man of second-degree murder for fatally running over a woman during a 2006 road rage incident with her husband and two daughters. Jonathan Wade Ellington, 51, has already served six years in prison for the Jan. 1, 2006, incident but was released last year after the Idaho Supreme Court overturned his convictions because of problems with his first trial. Judge John Luster today allowed him to stay out of jail until his new sentencing, which is scheduled for March 26. Ellington’s lawyer, John Adams, called the verdict the most unfair he’s seen in 30 years of jury trials/Meghann Cuniff, SR. More here. (Meghann Cuniff SR photo)
