Man Given 60 Years For Running Over Woman With Pick Up Truck Cutting Off Leg Killing Her
A Madison County judge has sentenced a former Washington Park man to 60 years in prison for chasing down his girlfriend in a truck, intentionally hitting her, cutting off her leg and leaving her to die on the side of a highway.
An all-female jury had deliberated just 40 minutes before finding Richard Mayor, 60, guilty of first-degree murder on June 1.
Judge Kyle Napp presided over the trial and handed down the sentence Tuesday morning.
“That is 100%,” Assistant State’s Attorney Luke Yager said after Mayor’s sentencing hearing at the Madison County Criminal Justice Center in Edwardsville.
“He has to serve the entire 60 years, if he lives that long.”
Mayor, who was shackled and wearing a gray-striped jail uniform, asked for an appeal to be filed immediately.
Lisa Dunnavant-Polach, 46, also of Washington Park, bled to death on Feb. 21 after telling a witness and an emergency responder that the person responsible was Mayor, her boyfriend, who was driving a white Ford F-150 truck, prosecutors argued at his trial.
