Suspect in minister's beating death could face death penalty

[LeighAnn]

I wonder if the slain minister would be in agreement with this?

From WRIC Richmond

A man accused of beating a Snow Creek minister to death during a robbery in her parsonage could face the death penalty.

A Franklin County grand jury indicted 40-year-old Charles Vincent Cobler (KOBB'ler) of Martinsville yesterday on charges of capital murder and robbery in the April murder of Nancy Copin (KOH'-pinn).

Franklin County Commonwealth's Attorney Cliff Hapgood says he hasn't decided whether he will pursue the death penalty against Cobler. He declined to say why he chose to upgrade the charge from first-degree murder to capital murder.
