Klamath Falls, Ore. – A jury found a Klamath Falls man ‘guilty’ Wednesday on a charge of first-degree assault.
After about an hour of deliberation, a jury ruled that William ‘Jack’ Parkerson slashed the face of Jon Wilkenson in August of 2014.
A sentencing date will be set on Monday.
Oregon Senior Assistant Attorney General Victoria Roe says the state will be requesting a sentence greater than the 7 years required by measure 11. “There are enhancements that are filed in this case, and that is in the court file – and the state will be requesting the maximum sentence. So that will be determined at the sentencing hearing.”
Parkerson is already serving a 30 year prison sentence for shooting and wounding Klamath County Sheriff’s Deputy Jason Weber.
