Police officer guilty of first-degree murder

Not above the law!

Saginaw, MI - Kenneth T. Bluew will spend the rest of his life in prison after a jury this afternoon convicted him of murdering Jennifer Webb, the woman who was eight months pregnant with his son. The charge carries a mandatory penalty of life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Saginaw County Prosecutor Michael D. Thomas delivered a 55-minute closing argument, telling the jury there was “overwhelming” evidence that Bluew planned to kill Webb, who planned to name her son Braxton. Bluew's attorney, Rod O'Farrell, spent 80 minutes arguing that the Michigan State Police's investigation was flawed and that Webb committed suicide. Thomas followed with a rebuttal argument that lasted about 30 minutes.

Prior to the closing arguments, Bluew elected against testifying on his own behalf.

The jury also convicted Bluew, who lived in Saginaw Township, of assaulting a pregnant individual intentionally causing miscarriage or stillbirth of a fetus or embryo and two counts of possessing a firearm during the commission of a felony.

A sentencing date is not yet set.
