Campbell Still Claims Innocence
The man convicted of killing his mother and reading the Bible to her as she died is still claiming he's innocent.
Jesse James Campbell of Houtzdale was officially sentenced to life in prison this morning.
Two weeks ago, a jury found Campbell guilty and also decided he should serve life in prison instead of being put to death. Today's sentencing hearing made that official.
During the hearing, Campbell also said he thought District Attorney William Shaw Jr. only pursued the death penalty as a political stunt.
