A Philadelphia jury has sentenced convicted cop killer John Lewis to death for the 2007 murder of Officer Chuck Cassidy.
The jury originally found Lewis guilty of first degree murder last Thursday, a conviction that carried a sentence of either life in prison without parole or death.
In his closing argument, Assistant District Attorney Edward Cameron argued that death was warranted:
"He [John Lewis] puts the value of money ahead of the value of human life," Cameron said. "He's not sorry because he went trick or treating [the night of the crime]with his uncle in South Philly."
