Man Could Face Death Sentence

{Louisville, Kentucky}...Jefferson County Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Leland Hulbert said Monday that 55 year old Mahmoud Yousef Hindi could face the death sentence if he is charged and convicted in the shooting deaths of 73 year old David Merritt and 69 year old Marvin Fisher. Hindi, a doctor educated in Jordan, was arrested after a shooting Thursday night at the Springdale Church. He was charged with murder in the death of Merritt, who died at the scene. Hindi pleaded not guilty Saturday to that charge as well as assault and wanton endangerment. Bond was set at $1 million. Fisher died Sunday at the University of Louisville Hospital. A grand jury will hear the case.
