'Sorry' killer's life in the jury's hands. A jury has begun deciding whether to spare the life of a a former Canton, Ohio, police officer who killed his pregnant girlfriend and tearfully asked them for mercy. In closing arguments Tuesday, prosecutor Dennis Barr told jurors he had provided sufficient evidence that Bobby Cutts Jr., 30, deserved to die for the murders of Jessie Marie Davis, and their unborn daughter, Chloe. "He took an oath to serve and protect all people," Barr said, pointing at Cutts. "But he did not serve and protect. He destroyed life. He took an innocent child who did not even have a chance to take a breath outside his mother's womb."
