12 July 2018 :

A jury in U.S. Air Force capital court martial resentencing proceedings has sentenced former Air Force senior airman Andrew Witt to life without possibility of parole. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces—the nation's highest military court—overtuned Witt's death sentence on July 19, 2016 (see), and remanded the case for a new sentencing hearing. On July 5, 2004 Witt stabbed to death Senior Airman Andrew Schliepsiek and his wife, Jamie, in their home on Warner Robins Air Force Base, Georgia. That Witt had killed the couple was never in doubt. His defense team worked to spare him from the death penalty by trying to convince the jury that he'd been unable to form premeditation to murder. With Witt's resentencing, there are now four prisoners on the U.S. Military death row.
