A jury has convicted an Evansville woman on all six counts she faced in connection with a homicide, rape, and kidnapping at a West Side Home. WNIN’s John Gibson reports:
Jurors found Heidi Kathleen Carter guilty Wednesday night, after her trial in Vanderburgh Circuit Court.
The 37-year-old Carter was convicted of aiding, inducing or causing murder; two counts of aiding, inducing or causing rape; and three counts of criminal confinement.
Carter was accused of helping her boyfriend kill 50-year-old Timothy Scott Ivy, and kidnap and rape Ivy’s girlfriend.
Police said Carey David Hammond killed Ivy and repeatedly assaulted Ivy’s companion.
Officers shot and killed Hammond when he emerged from the West Side home holding what authorities thought was a gun.
It turned out to be an object twisted into the shape of gun.
The EPD said Hammond apparently committed “suicide by cop.”
