Local Man Sentenced For Fatal Robbery Attempt

Columbus Division of Police

A Columbus man will serve 15 years in prison for his role in a fatal burglary attempt on the east side last September. 19-year-old Christopher Gould pleaded guilty to robbery and manslaughter charges in the death of  his accomplice, 23-year-old William Evans, at a South Hampton road home. The two men broke into the home and the woman inside shot and killed Evans. Ohio's "Castle Doctrine" law protected the woman from prosecution.

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
