Baltimore County prosecutors have dropped their efforts to send convicted killer Courtney Bryant to death row for the murder of a Hunt Valley Burger King worker, agreeing instead to have the 21-year-old serve a sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole. The move comes 7 months after the Maryland Court of Appeals overturned Bryant's death sentence, saying the trial judge should have given more weight to Bryant's young age -- 18 -- at the time of the crime when deciding whether to put him on death row for the murder of James Stambaugh Jr., 21, during a robbery. Last week, Bryant signed the plea deal agreeing to spend the rest of his life in prison. Bryant was convicted on Feb. 4, 2002 in the 2000 killing of Stambaugh.
