Convicted Murderer Receives Death Sentence

• {Shepherdsville, Kentucky}...For the third time, convicted murderer Michael Dale St. Clair received a death sentence Wednesday. St. Clair was convicted in the shooting death of distillery worker Francis "Frank" Brady of Bardstown in 1991 during a multistate crime spree while on the run after escaping from an Oklahoma prison where he was serving a life sentence for other killings. Aside from the Kentucky case, St. Clair has admitted to four other killings. St. Clair expressed no remorse as Special Judge Geoffrey Morris handed down the death sentence in Bullitt Circuit Court and set a January 19th execution date. St. Clair also faces a retrial on January 3rd in Hardin County, where he is charged with kidnapping Brady to steal his truck. The Kentucky case has been returned for either a new trial or resentencing three times by the Kentucky Supreme Court since 1998. St. Clair's attorneys and prosecutors say an appeal is expected, and the execution date will likely be delayed.
