BANGOR, Maine (AP) - Maine’s supreme court has rejected the appeal of a New York man sentenced to 50 years in prison for a shooting that left one man dead and another injured in Bangor.
Thomas Ferguson contended there was insufficient evidence to convict. He also contended that he was denied due process and challenged evidentiary rulings.
The Supreme Judicial Court upheld his convictions on Thursday.
Law enforcement officials say 38-year-old Robert Kennedy was killed and another man wounded on Nov. 27, 2015, to settle a drug debt.
A judge found Ferguson guilty of murder and elevated aggravated assault after finding that he was an accomplice to the shootings. The judge identified another man, Robert Hansley, as the triggerman. He was convicted of the same charges by a jury.
