The Kentucky Supreme Court upheld the sentence of an Eastern Kentucky man convicted of killing four people.
According to a release on Monday, the Attorney General’s Office of the Solicitor General defended the sentence before the Commonwealth’s highest court.
Paul Brock, 44, of Corbin, was arrested in 2018 for the shooting deaths of 74 year-old Mary Jackson, her pregnant granddaughter, 33 year-old Tiffany Myers and Myers’ husband, 45 year-old Aaron Byers. Another family member escaped the home and called the police.
Police found Jackson and Myers shot to death in their home. A few days later, the body of Byers was discovered in a shallow grave on Brock’s property.
In 2022, Brock was convicted by a jury but then agreed to a sentence of life without the possibility of parole, to avoid the death penalty. However, he appealed his conviction that same year.
The justices of the Kentucky Supreme Court agreed with the Commonwealth’s arguments that Brock should remain behind bars and serve his sentence, per the release.
