An alleged East Feliciana Parish serial killer has his 2019 1st degree murder conviction voided by an East Feliciana Parish judge due to it being non-unanimous. Ryan Sharpe is accused of killing three people in 2017 and was convicted in one of the killings 11-1. Sharpe’s Attorney Tommy Damico says non-unanimous jury verdicts are unjust and he’s glad the High Court’s ruling will give his client another chance.
Sharpe still faces charges related to the other alleged murders.
