Anderson man guilty in girl's killing
ANDERSON - A man who called 911 to report a body in an Anderson park has been convicted of murdering the 14-year-old girl.
It took a Madison County jury less than 30 minutes to find Jesse Lee Pitts guilty Tuesday in the death of Amanda Brinker. She was found beaten to death with a jack handle at Edgewater Park in September.
Investigators became suspicious of the call because the girl's body had been dragged off a walking trail and was not in plain sight. Police said blood was spattered on clothing in Pitts' possession.
The Associated Press left a message with Pitts' attorney, Jason Childers, seeking comment.
Pitts faces 45 years to 60 years in prison when he is sentenced June 9.
