Verdict CEDRIC CLINKSCALES Murder Trial

An Anderson County jury deliberated less than 2 hours before finding Clinkscales guilty of Murder in the death of Kenica Richardson on August 14, 2004. According to testimony, Clinkscales argued with Ms. Richardson and then fired at least four shots which resulted in her death shortly thereafter. The victim’s mother and three children were in the home at the time of the shooting. Clinkscales fled the scene and was later arrested by officers from the Anderson County Sheriff’s Office in Richmond, Virginia.

The Honorable Judge Edward Miller sentenced Clinkscales to 40 years for Murder and 5 years for the Possession of a Weapon during the Commission of a Violent Crime.
