They’ve reached the punishment phase of James Broadnax’s trial, with jurors deciding between the death penalty and life in prison. Last week he was convicted of killing two Christian music producers in June 2008 as they left their Garland studio. His family, in a witness stand Hail Mary, is now portraying Broadnax as George Costanza:
Defense attorneys called several more relatives who testified, as others have previously, that Broadnax is a nonviolent young man who was physically and verbally abused as a youngster. They also said that, though he dropped out of high school, Broadnax aspires to a career in architecture.
Yeah, not sure that’s going to pan out for him. But who knows?
