Aaron Lee Pearson faces death penalty for murdering veteran
Top Kone sends a link to the news that the District Attorney of Hardin County, Kentucky is seeking the death penalty for Aaron Lee Pearson because Pearson is suspected of murdering 71-year-old Norman Hall, a 22-year veteran of the Army, during a robbery;
Hall died from multiple blows to his head and face and from being stabbed in the neck, officials said.
Pearson also was indicted on complicity to first-degree robbery and complicity to tampering with physical evidence charges.
He is accused of taking an oxygen tank Hall used from the victim’s residence and throwing it “into a rocky terrain in an effort to conceal it from police,” according to his indictment.
Hall was found after Radcliff Police Department officers performed a welfare check Sept. 9, 2016, after neighbors said Hall hadn’t been seen for a few days.
Pearson’s partner in crime, Eloysia James-Venerable, 18, of Radcliff, is expected to testify in the trial, because there is no honor among thieves, apparently.
James-Venerable, who was 16 when Hall was killed, accepted a plea deal in February that recommends she serve 20 to 50 years or life in prison, with parole eligibility after 20 years.
The agreement also includes assurances she will testify against Pearson. Should James-Venerable not provide honest testimony, the commonwealth will remove the offer and she will be sentenced to life without parole.
She was charged with complicity to commit murder; first-degree burglary; first-degree receiving stolen property — firearm; and tampering with physical evidence.

KY hasn’t executed anyone in 10 years. In 1936, a fellow admitted to raping and killing a woman in KY. He was only prosecuted for rape because public hanging in the county where the rape occurred was the punishment. A death penalty for murder, on the other hand, was by electrocution outside of the public’s eye. After 20-30,000 people showed up for the culprit’s hanging in 1936, that was the end of public hangings.
My mother attended that hanging as a young girl. In those days “Public” meant all of the public. She found it pretty horrific, but in her words, necessary. To my knowledge that was the last public execution in this country. I think they stopped using it too soon.
You are right. It was the country’s last public execution. Well, let me qualify that last line. It was the last state-sanctioned public execution. In cities around the country this weekend, as every weekend, there will be executions in public.
