Youngstown man's murder sentencings to be clarified

WARREN — The judge who sentenced Jermaine McKinney of Youngstown to two life sentences without parole eligibility for killing two women in 2005 will have to have another hearing in the case to correct his sentencing entry.

The correction will only clarify the sentence, not change the amount of time McKinney will spend in prison.

McKinney, 31, an inmate at Mansfield Correctional Institute, killed Rebecca Cliburn, 45, and her mother, Wanda Rollyson, 70, in Rollyson’s Newton Township home Dec. 21, 2005.

In an appeal, McKinney argued that he was entitled to a resentencing hearing because Judge W. Wyatt McKay of Trumbull County Common Pleas Court did not notify McKinney during his November 2006 sentencing hearing of the terms of his probation in the event that McKinney ever gets released from prison.
