CANTON Large photos of a happy and vibrant Kerry-Anne Mumford were shown to the man who killed her and dumped her body in a creek.
The adult daughter of the 41-year-old Mumford wanted Scott A. Birch to be forced to confront cheerful photographs of the woman whose life he brutally ended.
During the Birch s sentencing hearing on Friday, Stark County Assistant Prosecutor Dennis Barr displayed the images in front of a video monitor linked to the Stark County Jail, where the defendant stood with his attorney.
The Massillon woman was a daughter, girlfriend, mother of three children. She was cherished by those who sat in Stark County Common Pleas Court, expressing both the great loss they are suffering as well as anger toward Birch.
