AJ Armstrong Convicted of Capital Murder, Sentenced to Life in Prison for Killing Parents
AJ Armstrong has been found guilty of capital murder in his third trial for the killing of his parents in 2016. The jury deliberated for about 10 hours before reaching a verdict. Armstrong, who was 16 years old at the time of the murders, has been sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole after 40 years. His family members left the courtroom in tears, and defense attorneys expressed their devastation. The defense had tried to cast doubt on Armstrong's guilt, suggesting his older brother as a possible suspect, but the prosecution maintained that Armstrong was the only person who could have committed the crime.
