Armando Barron, the Jaffrey man who murdered Keene’s Jonathan Amerault before forcing his wife to cut off the victim’s head, wants his murder condition overturned, partly because he wanted Amerault’s pleas for his life moments before he was killed kept from the jury.
KEENE — The jury in the Armando Barron murder case found him guilty Thursday after deliberating for just four hours in Cheshire Superior Court.
Britany Barron told the jury after husband Armando Barron’s rampage left Jonathan Amerault dead, and after he forced her to drive hours north to one of the most remote parts of the state where he wanted her to cut up and hide the body, then he would be back with their daughters so she could say goodbye.
What they are unlikely to learn in Cheshire County Superior Court during his murder trial are details about Armando Barron’s alleged infidelities, his past physical abuse of his wife, and his arrest for desertion from the military. All that evidence has been sealed, but there are clues in the available records.
“Do you know what the name of this gun is? It’s called the Judge. Ironic, huh?”
Armando Barron said to Jonathan Amerault while pointing his .45 caliber revolver at the man he was about to murder.
