USA - Delaware. Judge Calvin L. Scott sentenced Otis Phillips to death.

Superior Court Judge Calvin L. Scott sentenced Otis Phillips to death. He followed the Dec. 4, 2014 (see) unanimous recommendation that Phillips, 38, Black, be sentenced to death in the murder of Herman Curry, 47, and the manslaughter of 16-year-old Alexander Kamara. Phillips is 1 of 2 gang members convicted of murder in a July 8, 2012 soccer tournament shooting. The same jury in November found Phillips guilty of the second–degree murder of Christopher Palmer in 2008. Prosecutors had argued that Phillips "executed" Curry in order to prevent him from testifying about the Palmer case. Today Judge Scott sentenced Phillips to an additional 141 years in prison for additional charges related to the shootout and life in prison for the killing of Christopher Palmer.
