Death Row Murderer Deals For Life Sentence
KENTUCKY...
The death sentences of a multiple killer on Kentucky's death row have been changed to life in prison in a deal with prosecutors. Beoria A. Simmons will serve life without parole for a series of kidnappings and killings in Louisville from 1981 through 1983. A judge approved the deal between Simmons and prosecutors in court on Tuesday. The 55-year-old Simmons has been on Kentucky's death row for 25 years.
The deal comes four months after a federal judge ruled that Simmons could probe whether prosecutors systematically removed minorities from his jury in 1985.
