Woman convicted in 2010 death of election official

Posted:

MADISONVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - A jury in East Tennessee has convicted a woman in the death of a Monroe County election official whose body was found inside his burning vehicle two years ago.

The Knoxville News Sentinel reports the jury convicted Jessica Kennedy of facilitation of felony murder, facilitation of aggravated robbery, facilitation of arson and facilitation of abuse of a corpse.

The charges are lesser counts than Kennedy had been accused of in the death of 60-year-old Monroe County election commission chairman Jim Miller in 2010.

A sentencing date will be set later.
