A former soldier who claimed to be mentally disturbed from his deployment in Iraq was convicted of murdering a university student yesterday.
Jurors took nearly seven hours to find Courtney Lockhart, 26, guilty of abducting and shooting an 18-year-old freshman from Georgia.
They recommended he be sentenced to life imprisonment rather than face the death penalty - although the judge is not bound to agree when sentence is passed on January 28.
