Published August 21, 2008 11:27 pm - Adair County man acquitted in murder case STILWELL — A Westville man charged in connection with the death of a woman who died of burns sustained when a meth lab caught fire was acquitted Wednesday of second-degree murder.
The Adair County jury did, however, convict Christopher Paul Dempsey, 24, of manufacturing methamphetamine. According to the Adair County Court Clerk’s Office, jurors recommended a 12-year prison sentence and a $50,000 fine. Dempsey was one of two people charged in connection with the death of Mandi Dawn McGraw Murray, 24, who sustained burns over her entire body and languished more than a month in the hospital before dying. Court records show Oscar Bartlett, who testified for the state at Dempsey’s trial, is serving a prison sentence after pleading no contest earlier this year to the drug manufacturing charge. Prosecutors dismissed the second-degree murder charge that had been filed against Bartlett. A sentencing date has yet to be scheduled for Dempsey.
