CENTENNIAL — An ex-Marine and Hurricane Katrina evacuee has been convicted of murder in the slaying of a convenience-store clerk in Aurora.
Arapahoe County prosecutors said jurors found John Andrew Doubleday guilty of second-degree murder and felony murder Monday. They said he shot 62-year-old Jutte Gallegos Burton as she worked at a 7-Eleven.
The felony murder conviction carries a mandatory life sentence, but a judge still has to decide whether that conviction will stick.
That’s because jurors acquitted Doubleday of aggravated robbery, disagreeing on whether he had been forced to hold up the store by drug dealers. But the felony he’s accused of committing under the felony – murder conviction is robbery.
