12/12/2004

Two men accused in the beating death of a 39-year-old homeless man face new charges in the killing that carry the death penalty. Pike County Prosecutor Rob Junk now says the October death of Daniel Fetty is a hate crime, carried out partly because the victim was gay. Martin Baxter and co-defendant Matthew Ferman, both of Waverly, pleaded innocent on Friday to new aggravated murder charges. A third man, James Trent Junior of Piketon was convicted on December sixth of involuntary manslaughter and is expected to testify against the other two. He was sentenced to seven years in prison.
