TN: Ferrell found Guilty, Appeal Planned
The man who shot and killed country musician Jerald "Wayne" Mills in 2013 was found guilty of second-degree murder Friday.

Taking fingerprints off a phone in his possession? That seems dumb.
Phones are fairly sealed, except for water and don't think magnetic powder would be strong enough to clear the memory.
