WARREN A former Warren G. Harding girls basketball coach was denied parole from his 15-years-to-life sentence after his conviction in the murder of his wife.
The parole board voted this week to keep David Jenkins in prison until his next chance for a parole hearing in 2028, according to Christopher Becker, Trumbull County assistant prosecutor.
Jenkins, 58, who is housed at Marion Correctional Institution, underwent his first hearing before the Ohio Parole Board in January. Prior to the hearing, Becker wrote a letter advising the board about his office’s opposition to Jenkins’ release.
In the winter of 2006, Jenkins was convicted of murder in the strangulation death of his wife, Deana, at their Warren home in May 2004.
