CRIMINAL CASES: Life sentence in ex-sheriff's killing
Life sentence in ex-sheriff's killing HERALD LEADER 5/6/2008
The man convicted of murdering Harlan County sheriff's candidate Paul L. Browning Jr. must serve at least 25 years in prison, a judge ruled Monday.
The sentence for Raymond Harris of life without the possibility of parole for at least 25 years was less than the jury had recommended. Jurors had said Harris should get life in prison without parole.
But Circuit Judge James L. Bowling Jr. said fairness required that Harris at least have a chance for parole someday.
