Sentencing Date Set for Marshfield Man Accused of Killing Girlfriend
Saturday, August 31st, 2013 -- 7:33 AM
-Sentencing has been set for a Wood County man accused of killing his girlfriend.Gabriel Campos is accused of murdering Maisie McCullough, his ex-girlfriend and mother of his child, back in the Fall of 2012. McCullough had been stabbed and her throat slit. After changing his plea several times, Campos entered a guilty plea to that crime at the end of May.
It was also discovered later that Campos had attempted to hire an inmate to kill the man McCullough was dating after they broke up. Campos had been charged with another homicide. That charge was dismissed, but can be taken into consideration when he is sentenced for McCullough?s death.
During a recent court appearance, Campos withdrew his guilty plea on the grounds of ineffective counsel and fired his public defenders saying ?they do not have my best interest at heart? and he was assigned a new attorney.
Now, in another twist to the case, Campos will not withdraw his guilty plea and he will be sentenced November 19th to the mandatory punishment of life in prison.
