Man gets death penalty for killing wife, son
A St. Tammany Parish jury has sentenced James Magee to death for the 2007 killings of his estranged wife and 5-year-old son.
Magee shook and collapsed then put his face in his hands on Monday when the verdict was read.
The same jury Saturday convicted the 32-year-old Magee of first-degree murder the shooting deaths of his 28-year-old wife, Adrienne, and their 5-year-old son, Zach, on April 18, 2007, in the Tall Timbers subdivision north of Mandeville.
He also was convicted of attempting to kill their other children, daughters Ashleigh, then 8, and Aleisha, then 7.
Assistant District Attorney Scott Gardner, who spearheaded the prosecution, said the verdict "gives voice to the victims."
