BURLINGTON, Iowa (AP) - A third defendant has been convicted in the kidnapping and beating death of a man at a Burlington apartment complex.
Des Moines County court records say a jury found Stanley Baldwin, 50, guilty Tuesday of willful injury. His sentencing is scheduled for May 11.
The two other defendants, Majestic Malone and Markell Price, were convicted in August and sentenced to up to 60 years in prison each.
Court documents say Malone and Price forced Edward Breuer inside an apartment on March 17 last year after Baldwin accused Breuer of breaking into it. The documents say Malone and Price carried Breuer back out of the apartment several minutes later and laid him face down in the dirt before Price poured a can of soda over Breuer’s head.
