Slow Saturday Special: Doody Done

I usually do it before breakfast but forgot today:

"Man sentenced in killings at temple" Associated Press   March 15, 2014

PHOENIX — A man convicted of killing nine people, including six monks, during a 1991 robbery at a Buddhist temple in metro Phoenix was sentenced Friday to 249 years in prison.

Johnathan A. Doody, 39, was one of two men convicted in the killings. Allesandro Garcia, a high school friend of Doody’s, pleaded guilty and was previously sentenced to life in prison in exchange for his testimony and a promise that prosecutors wouldn’t seek the death penalty.

Doody was found guilty in 1993 and sentenced to 281 years in prison. But an appeals court threw out his conviction in 2011 after ruling that investigators improperly obtained a confession. His second trial resulted in a mistrial in October.

Doody, who maintains he is innocent, declined to make comments to the judge before he was sentenced.
