Judge denies convicted murderer's motion
A motion by convicted murderer Francis Joseph Loncar for an evidentiary hearing was denied last week in Seventh Judicial District Court in Vidalia by Judge Leo Boothe.
Loncar, 41, was one of two men convicted of second degree murder in 2006 in the April 5, 2005, murder of Richard Alan Cupstid, 33, of Vidalia. Loncar and Jason Short, 34, of Vidalia, were each sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder.
Cupstid, a trucker, was killed on Rountree Road near Vidalia. He was robbed of $3, pistol-whipped, run over by a 1999 silver Mustang driven by his attackers and shot in the head with a .22 caliber weapon.
After his motion was denied, Loncar was transported by prison guards back to the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola where he is serving his life sentence. |
