Alfred Brian Mitchell has been formally sentenced for a third time. Mitchell was convicted of killing Elaine Scott in 1991.
His previous death sentences were overturned in 2001 and 2006 by appeals courts because of improper evidence, prosecutorial misconduct and judicial bias.
Mitchell's 3rd sentencing hearing ended last month with a jury again recommending the death penalty and he was formally sentenced today by Oklahoma County District Judge Virgil C. Black.
