SALEM, Ore. — After spending a decade in and out of jail, waiting years on death row and having his death sentence overturned, a 41-year-old convicted murderer will be sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
The Statesman Journal reports Isacc Agee agreed to waive his right to a jury sentencing Monday.
The Oregon Supreme Court in 2015 affirmed Agee’s conviction but overturned his death sentence, ordering a new hearing to determine whether he is intellectually disabled.
After speaking with investigators and the victim’s family, prosecutors decided against continuing to seek the death penalty.
