Jury In Colorado Murder Case Rejects Death Sentence
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — A Colorado man convicted of murdering two people will spend life in prison with no chance of parole after jurors rejected prosecutors' request that he be put to death.
KRDO-TV reports that jurors made their decision on Tuesday in Colorado Springs.
The same jurors determined on June 26 that Glen Galloway was guilty of the first-degree murder of Janice Nam and the second-degree murder of Marcus Anderson. Jurors then heard from prosecutors and the defense on whether the former Fort Carson soldier should be sentenced to die.
Prosecutors argued that Galloway killed Anderson, then drove Anderson's truck to Nam's home and killed her. Galloway had previously been convicted of stalking Nam, a former girlfriend.
Galloway's attorneys argued that he killed Anderson in self-defense and shot Nam during a mental break.
