Summary of Offense:
On April 2, 1997, Campbell murdered 18-year-old Charles Dials at K-Mart on South High Street. Campbell, who was feigning paralysis and was in a wheelchair, assaulted a deputy sheriff as she transported him to court on an aggravated robbery charge. Campbell stole the deputy sheriff's gun, fled and then car-jacked Mr. Dials. He stole Mr. Dials' wallet and shot him after driving around with him for at least two hours. When Campbell heard a radio report on his escape, he carjacked his next victim, who escaped leaving Campbell with her wallet and car keys. Campbell surrendered after a pursuit by police and later gave a video-taped confession.
