Cyr To Be Sentenced Today In Murder Case

Joseph Cyr, the man convicted of two counts of first degree murder, will be sentenced today.

On October 27, Cyr was found guilty of killing Jayme Adams and her unborn child. A jury recommended life without parole for Cyr but the decision is ultimately up to the judge.

Prosecutors argued Joseph Cyr called and set up a meeting to have sex with Adams, then brutally stabbed her and left her body in a field near I-240 and Western. Cyr has denied ever meeting Adams for sex and has pleaded not guilty to the first-degree murder charge. DNA evidence found inside Adams body counters his claim since it was a perfect match to the DNA he provided to detectives during their investigation.

A formal sentencing is scheduled for later this morning. Stay with News 9 for the latest updates.
