USA - Alabama. A jury recommended a death sentence for James Osgood, 44, White

A Chilton County jurors unanimously recommended a death sentence for James Osgood, 44, White. Jurors found Osgood guilty on 2 counts of capital murder in the Oct. 13, 2010, death of Tracy Brown, 44. The 2 counts of capital murder involve murder in commission of rape in the 1st degree and murder in commission of sodomy in the 1st degree. Osgood and Tonya Vandyke, 43, attacked Brown in her bedroom, forcing Brown at gunpoint to perform sexual acts on both of them before Osgood slashed Brown's neck. Vandyke was Osgood's girlfriend. She faces 2 counts of capital murder but is being tried separately from Osgood. Her trial will begin in December. The prosecution showed jurors a key piece of evidence last week involving a taped confession from Osgood to 2 investigators with the Chilton County Sheriff's Department where Osgood described in detail the graphic accounts leading up to the murder. Chilton County Circuit Judge Sibley Reynolds set a June 13 date for sentencing.
