CHESAPEAKE, Va.—A Virginia man has been sentenced to prison for killing one Mormon missionary and wounding a second in a January 2006 attack.
Twenty-three-year-old James Boughton Jr. was given a 38-year, six-month term Monday in Circuit Court.
In December 2008, jurors convicted Boughton in the shooting death of Morgan W. Young of Bountiful, Utah. Boughton also was convicted of wounding Joshua Heidbrink of Greeley, Colo. The missionaries were shot while knocking on doors in the southeast Virginia city.
Besides first-degree murder, Boughton was convicted of malicious wounding, attempted malicious wounding and three firearms counts.
