Connecticut judge says government didn't prove case in death penalty trialBRIDGEPORT, Connecticut -- A federal judge said in a ruling released Wednesday that he dismissed a murder conviction that could have led to the first federal death penalty case in Connecticut because prosecutors did not prove the killing was related to a drug dealing operation.
Federal prosecutors needed to prove that drug kingpin Luke Jones killed Monteneal Lawrence to maintain or increase his position in a racketeering enterprise that dealt drugs and death in Bridgeport's P.T. Barnum public housing complex. That would have made Jones, 34, eligible for the death penalty under federal law.
But U.S. District Judge Alan Nevas said in his ruling that although it was clear from evidence at trial that Jones intentionally killed Lawrence on Nov. 27, 1998, he believed the killing was the result of a personal dispute between Lawrence and Jones' girlfriend.
A Connecticut jury convicted Jones last month after hearing witnesses testify that Jones murdered an intoxicated Lawrence after the victim made "disrespectful" comments to Jones' girlfriend during a house party. The Connecticut jury also acquitted Jones of killing Anthony Scott on June 26, 1999, but found him guilty of conspiracy to commit that murder.
Jones, who was also convicted of running a racketeering enterprise and trafficking in heroin, cocaine and crack, still faces up to life in Connecticut prison when he is sentenced in January.
Nevas threw out the conviction against Jones for Lawrence's murder earlier this month. But he added that he would have allowed the case to proceed to the death penalty phase if the Connecticut jury had convicted Jones of murdering Scott.
The Connecticut judge concluded that the evidence was insufficient to support the racketeering motive needed to sustain the conviction.
Nevas said Lawrence was not affiliated with a drug organization and did not pose a threat to Jones' drug enterprise.
"In short, the government has failed to prove that Jones, in responding to Lawrence's personal acts of disrespect, was expected to act based on the threat posed to the enterprise and that failure to do so would have undermined his position within that enterprise," Nevas wrote in his ruling.
He rejected prosecutors' arguments that Jones had a general need to use violence in response to all acts of disrespect.
Nevas suggested that prosecutors were overreaching in trying to bring a death penalty case against Jones for Lawrence's killing.
"Indeed, taking the government's theory to its logical conclusion, any act of violence committed by a member of a drug trafficking group, whether related to its drug trafficking objectives or not, would be a (racketeering) offense," the judge wrote.
Nevas has said that the Connecticut U.S. attorney's office decided not to seek the death penalty, but that decision was reversed by the U.S. Justice Department in Washington.
Connecticut U.S. Attorney Kevin O'Connor said his office will review the judge's ruling before deciding whether to appeal.
"We do feel we did the right thing in bringing these charges," O'Connor said. "This was a murder that Luke Jones committed. The jury agreed."
Bridgeport, Connecticut State's Attorney Jonathan Benedict declined to say why Jones was not prosecuted in state court in Lawrence's death. He also declined comment on the federal case.
Jones' lawyer, Robert Casale, called Nevas' decision courageous and criticized U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft for pursuing the death penalty against Jones.
"It's good not just for Luke Jones, really the case was just as much about the autonomy of the federal court," Casale said.
