(06/05/2003)

By David Hedges Publisher, The Times Record/Roane County Reporter A Tariff man convicted of first degree murder did something at his sentencing hearing last week he never did during his six-day trial. He spoke. Alex Vincent Golosow told Roane Circuit Judge Tom Evans, and others in courtroom last Thursday morning, that pre-trial publicity made the verdict in his case certain. "I feel I was convicted before I ever came to court," said Golosow, also known as "Tattoo Vince." Golosow was found guilty in the slaying of Jud Reid, a man he once called his best friend. "I want my friends and Jud Reid to know I am not guilty," Golosow said in the courtroom last week. "I don't feel I was given a fair trial." Full story Times Record/Roane County Reporter
