A re-sentencing hearing for a 20 year old Loogootee man, who was convicted of first degree murder in Fayette County in 2011, has been set for July 7th. A conference call was held earlier this week to set Clifford W. Baker’s re-sentencing hearing. There will be another conference call on the matter held on May 16th. Baker was found guilty nearly five years ago for first degree murder in the deaths of Michael Mahon and Debra Tish in their Loogootee home. Baker at that time was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. But, it was found unconstitutional to have someone who, at the time, was under the age of 18 to not have the possibility of parole—so Baker must now be re-sentenced although his convictions remain in place.
