CINCINNATI – An Ohio man found guilty in a murder trial that hinged on a paralyzed victim blinking his eyes to identify his shooter is scheduled for sentencing.
Thirty-five-year-old Ricardo Woods could get life in prison Thursday. A Cincinnati jury found Woods guilty of murder and felonious assault in the October 2010 shooting of David Chandler.
Police interviewed Chandler after he was shot in the head and neck and only able to communicate with his eyes. He died about two weeks later.
Woods says he is innocent. His attorney says Woods will appeal.
Jurors viewed the videotaped police interview that prosecutors say showed Chandler blinked three times for "yes" to identify Woods' photo as his shooter. The defense argued the blinks were inconsistent and unreliable.
