(Radio Iowa) – The man accused of killing a Fort Dodge pastor was found guilty by a Scott County jury on Tuesday. Joshua Pendleton was charged with first-degree murder and first-degree robbery in the death of Rev. Allen Henderson, who was attacked outside St. Paul Lutheran Church on October 2, 2019. Pendleton pleaded not guilty after he was found competent to stand trial. The trial began last week in Davenport. It was moved to Scott County because of pre-trial publicity.

Pendleton will be sentenced June 18 in Webster County District Court in Fort Dodge.
