USA - Kentucky. Judge Jim Shake sentenced Larry Lamont White to death

Judge Jim Shake sentenced Larry Lamont White, 56, Black, to death. The judge upheld a july 28 jury's recommendation for White, bringing a 30-year-old cold case to a close. Police say on June 4, 1983 White raped and killed 22-year-old Pamela Denise Armstrong. Despite years of investigating, the case went cold, until Lavonne White, Armstrong's daughter and no relation to Lamont White, urged LMPD to reopen the case. A DNA match found on Pamela Armstrong's underwear broke the case. It lead to a new trial and a conviction this past July for the rape and murder of her mother. Larry Lamont White received 20 years for the rape and death for the murder. White is convicted of killing two other women in the 1980s and that was introduced to the jury.
