Death Penalty Sought
Prosecutors are now able to continue their request to seek the death
penalty for a suspect charged with the murder of a McDonald County couple.
The Missouri State Supreme Court has denied motions that would have
prohibited the state from seeking the death penalty against 24-year- old
Levi King.
King pleaded not guilty to the murders of Orlie McCool and Laura Dawn
McCool.
The couple was found shot to death at their rural Pineville home in
September of last year.
McDonald County Prosecutor Steve Geeding says he will seek the death
penalty for king. A preliminary hearing for king is set for January 4th of
next year.
King is also accused of killing a family of four at their Texas home, just
one day after the McDonald County murders.
