The man convicted in the shooting death of a Fort Worth police officer is going to prison for life with no chance of parole.
On Wednesday night, the same jury that convicted Timothy Huff decided on a life sentence during the penalty phase of the trial.
In 2018, undercover Fort Worth officer Garrett Hull was gunned down during a confrontation with a group of armed robbery suspects.
While Huff did not fire the fatal shot, he was convicted of capital murder under the Texas "Law of Parties," which allows a person to be criminally responsible for the actions of someone else when there was a conspiracy to commit one crime and another felony occurs.
Tarrant County Assistant Criminal District Attorney Lloyd Whelchel argued for the death penalty but the jury settled on life without parole.
