DOVER – A yawning Isaiah W. McCoy received a death sentence Thursday morning in Kent County Superior Court, though the Dec. 11, 2012 execution date may be delayed by an automatic appeal to the Delaware Supreme Court.
Resident Judge William L. Witham Jr. concurred with a Kent County jury’s recommendation that the Dover resident should be put to death after his conviction on a first-degree capital murder charge and other offenses last summer relating to the May 4, 2010 shooting death James Mumford of Salisbury, Md. man in a drug deal gone awry at a Rodney Village bowling alley.
Mr. McCoy has been incarcerated at James T. Vaughn Correctional Center near Smyrna since his arrest for the crime, which also included convictions on first-degree robbery, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony and second-degree conspiracy counts. Those charges also brought a combined 61 years of incarceration in a decision that was announced Thursday.
