Phillip L. Brown has been sentenced to death by a Warren County jury. He has been found guilty of beating and stabbing 36-year-old Sherry Bland to death. Brown was convicted of the same crime 3 years ago, but in 2003 was granted a new trial when the state Supreme Court ruled some of the evidence had been wrongly excluded. Brown was originally sentenced to "life without the possibility of parole for 25 years," but this time he got the death penalty. Phillip Brown is 25 years old.
