Campbell Found Guilty

A Houtzdale man may face the death penalty after a jury convicted him of beating and slashing his mother to death.

The jury found 21-year-old Jesse James Campbell guilty of six charges relating to the March 13 murder of his mother, 49-year-old Cindy Jo Coleman. The penalty phase starts today.

Campbell is accused of hitting his mother with a five-pound plastic weight and cuttting her neck with a steak knife. Police say Campbell then read the Bible to his mother as she died.

During the trial, Campbell tried to pin the murder on his ex-girlfriend.
