Death Penalty Considered In Bowling Green Slaying

{Bowling Green, Kentucky}...Attorneys say a trial is likely a year or more away for for 33 year old Kathy Michelle Coy of Morgantown, who has pleaded not guilty to charges of murder, tampering with physical evidence, resisting arrest and kidnapping in the death of Jamie Stice, whose remains were found in Warren County on April 14th. No date was set during a pretrial hearing Monday in Bowling Green. Warren County Commonwealth's Attorney Chris Cohron and defense attorney Jim Gibson said they'll set a trial date for late 2012 or early 2013 at a pre-trial conference in January. Police say Coy used a stun gun to subdue Stice before killing her and cutting the baby boy from her body then going to a hospital, claiming she had given birth. The baby, Isaiah Allen Stice Reynolds, survived the incident. After the hearing, Cohron said he plans to have a decision by the Januaty 20th hearing about whether to seek a death sentence for Coy if she's convicted. Cohron says the case bears strong consideration for the death penalty. Coy remains lodged in the Warren County Regional Jail.
