Man accused of killing Portland
man gets 6 years in prison
PORTLAND (AP) — A
man accused of beating
and burning the body of
another man in 2013 has
been sentenced to six years
in prison after pleading
guilty to manslaughter.
The Oregonian/Oregon-
Live reports 53-year-old
Ervin Golden Jr. had been
scheduled to go on trial for
murder on Monday, but he
decided to plead guilty to
the lesser charge Friday.
Golden and a second
man had both been accused
of killing Jeremy Purcell,
who lived in a southeast
Portland garage.
During a 2015 trial that
ended in mistrial, the pros-
ecution said the men were
retaliating against Purcell
because they believed
Purcell had stolen Golden’s
wallet and a car belonging
to one of Golden’s associ-
ates, a cocaine dealer.
