Lobbyist's Killer Will Serve Life Sentence
Charles Hollingsworth III, the man who hanged self-appointed homeless lobbyist David Owen, will spend the rest of his life in prison. The Topeka Capital-Journal reports that the 19-year-old Hollingsworth was sentenced yesterday to life plus a consecutive 17-year sentence for kidnapping Owen.
Psychologist Dr. William Albott testified at trial that Hollingsworth wasn’t mentally ill but smoked a lot of pot, The Capital-Journal reported. Albott added that Hollingsworth never intended to kill Owen but wanted to intimidate him so Owen would leave him alone.
