Death Penalty Will Be Sought for Former Policeman Accused of Murdering Trion Resident

The District Attorney in Madison County, Alabama says that he’s planning to seek the death penalty for a former Huntsville, Alabama police officer accused of murdering a northwest Georgia woman.

David McCoy stands accused of killing his pregnant girlfriend – 26 year old Courtney Spraggins of Trion – in mid-January.  McCoy was off-duty at the time and that murder occurred at Weston Ranch Apartments in Huntsville, in Madison County, Alabama.

Madison County District Attorney Tim Gann said, “You’ve got a young woman who has her life ahead of her and an unborn child – those facts in of itself and based upon how she was killed it is clearly a case we will seek the death penalty on.”
