An SCI Inmate in Somerset, who was convicted of killing a prison guard in 2018 has been sentenced to death. After several hours of deliberations, a Somerset County jury handed down the death penalty yesterday to 30-year-old Paul Kendrick. In 2018 Kendrick beat Sgt. Mark Baserman after the guard reportedly removed a towel from his cell. Baserman died 11 days later of his injuries. Kendrick was already serving a life sentence at the time of Baserman’s death. Kendrick will now have a presentencing investigation, and will be sentenced officially at a later date.
