Ryan Champion Could Face the Death Penalty if Convicted

Facebook

A Trigg County man accused in the killing of his parents, sister and an acquaintance could face the death penalty if convicted.

Ryan Champion is charged with murder, complicity to murder and complicity to kidnapping.

Prosecutors say they believe Champion enlisted help from 22-year-old Vito Riservato in murdering his family. He then shot and killed Riservato.

In the arraignment Wednesday, Trigg County prosecutor G.L. Ovey said if Champion is convicted, he’ll seek the death penalty.

Champion has pled not guilty to all charges.

He will next appear in court Feb. 13.
