Charles Malloy, guilty in a 1996 murder, will get a new sentencing hearing. The jurors who convicted Charles "Kid Homicide" Malloy did not get to see him as a person, as an individual, according to a Pennsylvania State Supreme Court ruling. Had they, the court stated, they likely would not have sentenced him to death for the Nov. 8, 1996, murder of Arthur Irick, 18. In a 30-page opinion, the court ruled that "the dry assessment of (Malloy's) individual circumstances" presented in the penalty phase at his 2000 trial in York County contributed largely to the jury condemning him to death. Malloy's case has been remanded to York County for another sentencing hearing.
