TACOMA, Wash. (AP) — The getaway driver in the coffee shop shooting deaths of four Lakewood police officers is expected to be sentenced Friday in Tacoma.
The News Tribune reports Pierce County prosecutors are asking for a 420-year sentence for the 40-year-old Arkansas native.
Before the sentencing, defense lawyers plan to ask for a new trial.
A jury convicted Allen in May of being an accomplice to four counts of first-degree murder.
Prosecutors say Allen drove Maurice Clemmons to and from the Parkland coffee shop on Nov. 29, 2009, when Clemmons gunned down the four officers.
