James Nathaniel Bryant III's sentence for the June 5, 2000 killing of police Cpl. Dennis Lyden is death - again. Circuit Court Judge Paula Thomas sentenced him and added 20 years for armed robbery.
A separate jury convicted Bryant on both charges in 2001, but the S.C. Supreme Court reversed that conviction after ruling Bryant was denied a fair trial, and returned the case to Horry County.
Thomas said Bryant would be returned immediately to death row at Lieber Correctional Institution in Ridgeville.
