JURY CONVICTS CARVER OF MURDER

On the evening of March 28, 2016, Jason Franklin Carver and his co-defendant Woodrow Curry went to 108 Sterling Bridge Road in Powdersville to collect drugs or money from Steven Cameron. Carver drove a white Buick Regal to the victim’s home with Curry in the passenger’s seat. When they arrived, the men went on to the porch and an altercation ensued. During that altercation, Curry pulled a .25 caliber gun and shot Steven Cameron twice in the chest. He died almost instantly of those injuries. Carver and Curry were each charged with Murder. Woodrow Curry pled to Voluntary Manslaughter and received a deferred sentence on Tuesday. A jury found Jason Carver guilty of Murder this afternoon. Judge Lawton McIntosh sentenced him to 30 years.
