View Comments
MUNCIE, Ind. Attorneys have weighed in as a Delaware County man convicted in a murder-for-hire plot continues his pursuit of a new trial.
Jess David Woods, now 69, was convicted of murder and conspiracy to commit murder in 2009. He was later sentenced to 100 years in prison by Delaware Circuit Court 3 Judge Linda Ralu Wolf.
Woods formerly of the Daleville area was convicted of fatally shooting 29-year-old Teresa French at her family s Cromer Avenue home in May 1993.
Authorities said French s estranged husband, Anthony, had hired Woods to kill her.
At a hearing last November, Woods and his attorney, Eric Koselke of Indianapolis, requested post-conviction relief in the form of a new trial.
