Senior Judge William Martin will preside over a hearing today on a post-sentence motion by Charles Cook, the 65-year-old drifter acquitted last October of the 1991 shooting death of Myrtle McGill of Indiana, but convicted in a separate case for using the telephones while incarcerated at the Indiana County Jail to arrange drug deliveries with his girlfriend.
Cook pleaded no contest to five of seven counts against him for criminal use of a communication facility. Judge Martin, who was then president judge of Indiana County prior to his retirement, sentenced Cook to three to seven years in state prison for each count, with two counts running consecutively and the other three concurrently. That adds up to a total of six to fourteen years in prison.
