Prosecutors weren’t seeking the death penalty, so the judge immediately sentenced Billy Chemirmir to life in prison without parole.
Accused serial killer Billy Chemirmir, left, and defense lawyer Phillip Hayes, center, listen to private investigator Tonia Silva during the final day of Chemirmir's re-trial on Thursday. A man charged with killing 18 older women in the Dallas area over a two-year span was found guilty of murder Thursday and sentenced to life in prison in one of the cases against him after an earlier mistrial.
Prosecutors weren’t seeking the death penalty, so state District Judge Raquel “Rocky” Jones immediately sentenced Chemirmir to life in prison without parole. “This one conviction represents justice for all of the families,” said Shannon Dion, whose 92-year-old mother, Doris Gleason, was killed in 2016.
Chemirmir was arrested the day after Bartel said a man forced his way into her apartment and held a pillow over her face.
