Jury spares convict's life in restaurant killing

Associated Press - July 28, 2010 2:15 PM ET

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (AP) - Rutherford County jurors have spared a man they convicted of killing a restaurant manager from the death sentence.

The Daily News Journal reported the jury returned a sentencing verdict of life in prison without parole for 48-year-old Antonio Alexander on Tuesday, deliberating for just over two hours.

The same jury convicted Alexander in the 2008 killing of Nadar Bahmanziari during a Feb. 2, 2008 robbery of an O'Charley's restaurant in Murfreesboro.
