Man gets new hearing 11 years after conviction in murder-for-hire of Navy officer
The Associated Press
NORFOLK, Va. — A Virginia man who was convicted in the murder-for-hire of a Navy officer in Newport News has gotten a new court hearing.
The Daily Press reported Sunday that the hearing for David A. Runyon will focus on whether his trial lawyers should have better investigated evidence that he was suffering from brain damage.
A Norfolk federal jury convicted Runyon in 2009 of shooting Cory Allen Voss five times outside an ATM. Authorities said the killing was orchestrated by Voss’ wife and her boyfriend and designed to look like a robbery gone bad.
