In a surprise decision
In a surprise decision Wednesday night, the jury sentenced Letalvis D. Cobbins to life without the possibility of parole.
He was found guilty Tuesday in the slayings of Channon Christian and her boyfriend, Christopher Newsom, in 2007.
Cobbins could also have been sentenced to death or to life in prison. He chose not to testify on his behalf Wednesday.
The jurors gave weight to mitigating factors when they deliberated, finding for the lesser sentence.
Judge Richard Baumgartner said the jurors' names and the sentence will be sealed, but he will unseal them some time in the future. At that time, the media can contact them for interviews, but only once.
The judge set a separate date of November 20 to sentence Cobbins in other crimes in this case.
