Description:
At trial, Kinworthy did not deny he committed the charged crimes. Rather, he asserted he was not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect (“NGRI”) because he had schizoaffective disorder and was experiencing a psychotic episode at the time of the shootings. Both Kinworthy and the State presented evidence regarding his mental health.
Outcome:
The jury returned a verdict, finding Kinworthy guilty on all counts. The circuit court entered its judgment, consistent with the jury's verdict and sentenced Kinworthy to life without parole, life, and 107 years’ imprisonment to run consecutively.
