NASHVILLE, TN (WSMV)-
A Nashville man who made a dramatic deathbed murder confession, only to ultimately survive, has been found guilty following an emotional trial. "In July 1995, the body of Joyce Goodener was discovered in a Nashville, Tennessee home. She had been beaten to death with a cinder block, stabbed in the neck repeatedly and set on fire. (investigators never released how the victim was murdered) Yet, the inmate had all the information and had always been a "person of interest" in this crime!
And for more than a decade, her killer was never found."
James Washington was sentenced today for that crime, and automatic life sentence of a minimum of 51 years for this crime.
