TAZEWELL, Va. — A Tazewell County woman has been found guilty of two counts of attempted capital murder in connection with the 2007 shooting of a Tazewell County deputy.
Tracy Marie Coxton, 33, of Bandy, was found guilty of the attempted capital murder charge, as well as several robbery and burglary related charges, in a verdict returned late Friday.
On Monday, the jury recommended Coxton be sentenced to 117 years in prison for the 14 crimes for which she was found guilty.
Coxton and three other individuals were charged in connection with the Oct. 19, 2007, shooting of Deputy Eric Mullins of the Tazewell County Sheriff’s Department. The shooting prompted a two-state manhunt near the state line of Bluefield, Va., and Bluefield.
