    Carl Devon Powell - California Death Row


    Carl Devon Powell


    Facts of the Crime:

    Carl Devon Powell was sentenced to death in Sacramento County on November 10, 1994 after being convicted of robbing and murdering Keith McDade, a manager of a Sacramento Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant, on January 19, 1992. Powell, then 21, was convicted in September 1994 for the first-degree murder of McDade, 24.

    McDade was found slain in his car with a single bullet wound to the head in the restaurant parking lot on Freeport Boulevard. Under the seat of his car, police found a money bag still carrying the day's sales total of $1,700. Powell was also convicted of three counts of grand theft that occurred while he was an employee at the restaurant six months before the shooting.

    24 years to rule on direct appeal. Sounds about right!
