APPOMATTOX, Va. (AP) - A man who pleaded guilty to killing eight people at his rural central Virginia home and shooting down a state police helicopter has been sentenced to five life terms.
Christopher Speight entered his plea Friday in Appomattox County Circuit Court. After hearing from the victims' families, a judge agreed to sentence him to five life sentences, plus 18 years.
Speight pleaded guilty to three counts of capital murder, one count of attempted capital murder of a police officer and five firearms counts.
