A convicted killer of a Coeur d’Alene police officer has been sentenced to death.
District Judge Lansing Haynes on Monday imposed the death penalty to Jonathan Renfro who was found guilty of first-degree murder for killing police Sergeant Greg Moore in May 2015. A jury agreed Saturday that Renfro should get the death penalty. Haynes also meted out an additional sentence of life in prison without parole plus 19 years behind bars for convictions of robbery, eluding, taking a police officer’s firearm, concealing evidence, and grand theft. Haynes gave Renfro credit for the 915 days he has been incarcerated since his arrest.
The defense team has more than a month to start the appeal process, and the public defender office has already begun the paperwork. That process begins with direct appeal to the Idaho Supreme Court which will review the case before Renfro receives an execution date. (AP, Spokesman-Review)
