Jurors Deliberating Murder Case

{Charleston, West Virginia}...Thursday, jurors began deliberating a case against a man accused of the brutal, baseball-bat slaying of one man and the injuring of another. Kenneth Eugene Carter, 51, has denied that he killed Ron Forton and injured Bradie Dunlap, the men he lived with on Beuhring Avenue in Charleston. In her closing statements to the jury, Assistant Prosecutor Tera Salango called Carter a cold-blooded killer. Salango said Carter took several whacks at his roommate with a baseball bat in a jealous rage, then turned on Forton. Carter's court-appointed public defender, Charles Hamilton, told the jury that police did an incomplete investigation and made many errors, resulting in Forton's body not being found for 24 hours. Hamilton said police did not look to see if there was another weapon, or another person there, and they didn't look for fingerprints.
