COQUILLE, Ore. — An Oregon man was convicted Thursday of two counts of aggravated murder for fatally shooting the 19-year-old husband of his mother-in-law and her terminally ill former husband.
Circuit Judge Richard Barron found Timothy Henson, 43, of Myrtle Creek guilty after a three-day, nonjury trial.
Henson was convicted of killing Milton Leach, 70, and George Micheaux III during a trip to the Oregon coast last September. Henson testified that he used methamphetamine during the trip and was feeling paranoid.
The judge sentenced Henson to life in prison. He’ll have to serve 60 years before being eligible for parole.
