Clinger Convicted of Killings
A jury has convicted a DuBois man of killing two Brooklyn, N.Y. residents during a 2006 kidnapping and robbery.
The jury convicted 27-year-old Jason "Spike" Clinger of first- and second-degree murder in the killings of 22-year-old Davon Jones and 21-year-old Dianikqua Johnson.
The jury reached a verdict late Thursday after about five hours of deliberation. Clinger could face the death penalty. The penalty hearing will begin today.
Hunters found the bodies of Jones and Johnson in a remote area of Jefferson County in November of 2006.
During the trial, a witness testified that Clinger killed Jones and Johnson because they were drug dealers and no one would miss them.
