WARREN A former Warren G. Harding girls basketball coach is requesting parole from his 15-years-to-life sentence after his conviction in the strangulation death of his wife, Deana, at their Warren home in May 2004.
David Jenkins, 58, who is housed at Marion Correctional Institution, is scheduled for his first hearing before the Ohio Parole Board this month, and assistant Trumbull County Prosecutor Christopher Becker wrote a letter advising the board about his office’s opposition to Jenkins’ release.
In his letter, Becker states facts of the case were very straightforward. It was well known in the community that Jenkins and his wife were having marital problems, and Deana had told a number of close friends by May 2004 she was leaving her husband.
