| We are
live at the crime scene in Oxford, Mississippi, where the body of Andrea
Stover was found near Oxford's historic square early this morning by an
employee arriving for work at the Oxford Centre. Oxford residents will
remember Andrea Stover as the infamous director of the Oxtales Theatre
company. She was convicted of disseminating sexually explicit material
to minors in May 2000 as the result of one of Oxtales' most controversial
productions, "Snopes." Oxford
Mayor Claire Windham, claimed victory after Stover's conviction, saying
the jury supported their contention that the Oxtales production was not
art but pornography trying to gain legitimacy under the umbrella of art.
Andrea Stover
had recently completed her 18-month prison sentence and returned to
Oxford, where she was registered as a sex offender, as required by state
law. Stover had also returned to her position as director of Oxtales
Theatre and was reportedly working on a new production, which promised
to be as controversial as the one that sent her to jail. Stay tuned
to Action News for more details on this breaking story. Live at the
crime scene, I'm Penelope Young for Channel 12 Action News.
