GRETNA, La. (AP) - A Terrytown man who was convicted last week of killing his ex-girlfriend has been sentenced to life in prison. The Times-Picayune reports (https://bit.ly/MI1CMz ) Tory Wilson’s punishment was handed down Thursday on his 33rd birthday.
Prosecutors say Wilson killed Stephanie South on Aug. 24, 2012, shooting her more than a dozen times at her apartment while he was on parole for an illegal gun possession.
Wilson denied guilt, saying the four witnesses who identified him as the killer were wrong. A Jefferson Parish jury was unanimous in finding that the witnesses were correct.
