Jamie Hood will spend the rest of his life in prison.
On Friday afternoon the jury in the month-long trial sentenced Hood — who was found guilty in the murder of Athens-Clarke County Senior Police Officer Elmer “Buddy” Christian III, attempted murder of SPO Tony Howard, and murder of Kenneth Omari Wray — to life in prison without parole for the death of Christian and life with the possibility of parole for Wray’s murder.
Western Judicial Circuit District Attorney Ken Mauldin asked jurors to sentence Hood to death.
