Big Sandy Man Gets 60 Years for Sister’s Murder

GILMER — An Upshur County jury has sentenced Glenn Wade Myers Jr., 55, of Big Sandy to 60 years in prison after convicting him of murder in the shooting death of his sister. Myers testified Tuesday morning that he did not kill Cindy Espinoza, 52, who was shot this past summer outside her rural Nutmeg Road home. According to KETK and the Longview News-Journal, testimony established she was shot through the mouth from close range with a shotgun. The six-man, six-woman jury deliberated more than four hours before finding Myers guilty, and less than 40 minutes in determining the sentence. Myers would have to serve half the 60-year term before becoming eligible for parole.
