TACOMA, Wash. (AP) — The trial of four people accused of helping Lakewood cop-killer Maurice Clemmons went to the jury Thursday in Tacoma.
The four friends and relatives of Clemmons are accused of giving him medical care, clean clothes and transportation after he gunned down four officers in November 2009 in a Parkland coffee shop. Clemmons was killed two days later by a Seattle officer.
Rickey Hinton, Eddie Lee Davis, Douglas Edward Davis and Letrecia Nelson are charged with rendering criminal assistance. The News Tribune reports each could face up to five years in prison.
Two others have already been convicted of criminal assistance, and the man accused of being the getaway driver is scheduled for trial in June on four counts of aggravated murder.
