Third moolie coonvicted in 2005 Montco slayings

A Philadelphia man was convicted in three 2005 gunshot slayings yesterday in Montgomery County Court, and prosecutors will seek the death penalty.

Ernest Morris, 29, was the third man convicted in the murders of Shawne T. Mims, 33, of Norristown; Jennifer Pennington, 30, of East Norriton; and Pennington's unborn daughter on Jan. 31, 2005. Pennington was found slain in a remote section of Fairmount Park in Philadelphia, and a receipt in her pocket led investigators to the King of Prussia hotel room where Mims had been shot.

A jury found Morris guilty of first-degree murder in the deaths of Pennington and her child, and guilty of second-degree murder in Mims' death. Prosecutors will ask the jury today for the death penalty, District Attorney Risa Vetri Ferman said.

Harold Murray 4th, 31, was sentenced to death in July after a jury trial for the murders. The third defendant, Maurice Jones, 26, pleaded guilty to two counts of third-degree murder in the deaths of Pennington and her child and was sentenced in August to 20 to 40 years in prison.
