Eddie Lamar Sanders, 51, had been convicted and sentenced in October 2004 for the murder of Ann Strickland. Prosecutors said Sanders doused Strickland with gas oline after an argument in, October 2003 and set her on fire with a cigarette lighter. But the Georgia Supreme Court in October overturned his life-without-parole sen tence and required that he be re-sentenced. Although the state’s high est court said the evidence was sufficient to find Sanders guilty of three felony mur der counts, it said the jury also found Sanders guilty of voluntary manslaughter. “The defendant cannot be convicted and sentenced for felony murder because the voluntary manslaughter verdict indicates that the underlying felony is mitigat ed by provocation and pas sion,” the court ruled. Floyd County Superior Court Judge Walter J. Matthews handed down the maximum penalty. “I thought life without parole was a fitting sentence (so) I have no problem sen tencing you to the maximum of 20 years,” Matthews said. “Nobody has ever conced ed it was an accident. The Supreme Court never said there was anything acciden tal about this.” Attorney faces arrest on DUI CANTON (AP) Cherokee’s county attorney faces arrest on drunk driv ing, reckless driving and public drunkenness charges once he’s released from the YOUR WEATHER TEAM!
