Guilty of Soliciting Aggravated Murder, Feb. 12

Former North Bend resident Kenneth Everett Moore, 49, was found guilty of two-counts of Solicitation to Commit Aggravated Murder and two-counts of Conspiracy to Commit Aggravated Murder following a two-day Jury Trial in a courtroom at the Coos County Courthouse in Coquille, Wednesday, Feb. 11. According to a news release from District Attorney R. Paul Frasier, “The charges stem from actions taken by the defendant in 2009. At that time he was being held at the Coos County Jail on allegations that he had raped his step daughter. While he was being held at the jail, he conspired and solicited another jail inmate to kill two potential witnesses.” Judge Richard Barron sentenced Moore “to 194-months in prison on each conspiracy count, to run consecutively as there were two victims. This totals 388-months in prison.”
