A Crescent City man could spend the rest of his life in prison after being convicted of killing his parents last week.
Casey Rhyn Potter, 41, was found guilty of murder of 2 people and was sentenced to 15 years to life in prison.
Potter was convicted of killing his parents, 77-year-old Brian Gilbert Potter and 71-year-old Sherrie Lynn Potter at their Crescent City home. Their bodies were found Feb. 16, 2020, and Casey Potter was arrested two days later at a bus stop in Crescent City. At the time of his arrest, he was in possession of a loaded firearm.
A few months after his arrest, Potterâs attorney claimed he was not mentally competent to assist his defense. In the filing, the attorney said Potter referred to his parents as âclones and trespassers.â
