Murder Charges Dropped
{West Virginia}...Murder charges have been dropped against a former Logan County School Board member. Sixty-four year old Jerry Godby of Chapmanville was accused of murdering his wife, Delores A. Godby, in mid-May. A complaint alleged the Godbys had been in a heated argument when, at some point, Mr. Godby went into his bedroom closet, retrieved a loaded .38 special revolver, walked past his wife in the kitchen, pointed the gun at her and fired one shot directly into her chest. During a preliminary hearing Wednesday morning, Senior Status Magistrate Judge Marva Crouch found no probable cause against Jerry Godby for the charge he was arrested on.
