The accused was found guilty by a jury of second degree murder, aggravated assault, and committing aggravated assault with a weapon following a home invasion where the victim was killed with a shotgun.
The court considered the jury's recommendations for parole ineligibility, the aggravating factor of a prior first degree murder conviction two weeks prior, and the violent nature of the execution-style killing.
The accused was sentenced to life imprisonment without parole for 25 years for second degree murder, with concurrent sentences for the assault charges.
