A jury found former police officer Matthew Farwell was guilty of all charges. The charges are linked to the 2021 deaths of Sandra Birchmore and her unborn baby. Farwell mistreated Birchmore when she was a teenager. He murdered her because he thought she was carrying his child.
This verdict comes after a previous trial where a jury could not agree on the charges. Farwell was convicted in the deaths of the woman and her unborn baby.
