WARREN — For the first time in more than 10 years, a Trumbull County jury has recommended the death penalty for a convicted felon.

David Martin, 30, of Cleveland showed no reaction as Judge Andrew Logan of common pleas court read the jury's verdict that he should be executed for the murder of Jeremy Cole and attempted murder of Melissa Putnam.

The jury deliberated about four hours today before giving its verdict. Sentencing will be next Wednesday.

The last person sent to the death row from the county was Donna Roberts in 2002.
