Oregon Supreme Court Affirms Woodburn Bombing Convictions

Portland, Ore. (AP) The Oregon Supreme Court has affirmed the convictions and death sentences for a father and son who killed two police officers in a bank bombing.

Bruce and Joshua Turnidge were convicted in 2010 of building and planting the bomb that exploded at a bank in Woodburn.

The December 2008 blast killed a state police bomb technician who was trying to dismantle the explosive and a Woodburn police captain who was helping.

The high court Thursday rejected assertions that there were errors at trial.

The Turnidges are among more than 30 people on Oregon’s Death Row. The state currently has a moratorium on executions.
