USA - Federal. A federal jury sentenced Azibo Aquart, 30, to death.

A federal jury in Connecticut sentenced Azibo Aquart, 30, to death. On May 23, following a month-long murder trial, a U.S. District Court jury found Aquart guilty of killing Tina Johnson, 43, James Reid, 40, and Basil Williams, 54, on Aug. 24, 2005 after a drug dealing dispute. Aquart was found guilty of conspiring to commit murder in aid of racketeering and of committing the racketeering murders of the three victims; committing three counts of drug-related murder; and conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute 50 grams or more of crack cocaine. The jury was unable to reach a unanimous verdict on the death penalty for the murder of James Reid, Johnson's 40-year-old boyfriend. U.S. District Judge Janet Bond Arterton set no date for imposing the sentencing.
