WASHINGTON, Pa. -- A Washington County Jury has sentenced Terrell Yarbrough, 29, to life in prison for the deaths Brian Muha and Aaron Land back in 1999.
Yarbrough tearfully said he was sorry to the families after the verdict was read and said that he knows he can't undo what has happened.
Kathleen O'Hara, the mother of victim Aaron Land, told Yarbrough that she appreciates his apology.
Chris Muha, the brother of victim Brian Muha, told Yarbrough that his tears won't satisfy him until he shows real change. And Muha's mother, Rachel, told him that he should spend his life trying to be as good as the victims were.
Yarbrough was also found guilty in Ohio, but a court ruled that he must be tried again in Pennsylvania after it was determined that is where the two were killed. His alleged accomplice, Natah Herring, will also be tried in Pennsylvania.
The victims' families had spoken out against the death penalty.
