COEUR d’ALENE — A 12-member jury panel has decided Jonathan D. Renfro deserves the death penalty for killing Coeur d’Alene Police Sgt. Greg Moore.

After deliberating for four hours Friday, and briefly this morning, jurors agreed that the aggravating factors surrounding Moore’s death warranted the death penalty for the 29-year-old Renfro.

The Coeur d’Alene jury delivered its verdict around 10 a.m. in First District Court to a silent gallery whose members had been instructed to not show emotion at the reading of the verdict.

Moore’s wife, Lindy, seated among friends and family behind the row of prosecutors, held her hand over her mouth and began to cry.

More than a half-dozen Coeur d’Alene police officers shook hands and showed relief as Renfro’s family showed little response and quietly left the courtroom in the old Kootenai County Courthouse.

Coeur d’alene Police Chief Lee White said the outcome was expected, and brought an end to the years of waiting and deliberations that surrounded the case since Moore’s death in 2015.

“It’s a verdict we expected,” he said. “It brings to a close this chapter and now, at least for our agency, the healing can begin.”

The decision comes after six weeks of testimony in which the jury first found Renfro guilty of murdering Moore. Those proceedings were followed by two more weeks of testimony from prosecutors who attempted to prove aggravating circumstances and Renfro’s defense team who spent more than a week attempting to tip the scales to show mitigating circumstances for their client’s behavior, including a poor upbringing, head trauma, years of incarceration, and drug use.

Before the jurors rendered their final verdict this morning, District Judge Lansing Haynes asked onlookers to not show signs of emotion as a courtesy to the jury.

“I believe they should be able to render those decisions without being burdened by emotional reaction.”

Sentencing is scheduled at 1:30 p.m. Monday in Courtroom 12, at the Kootenai County jail.
