COLORADO SPRINGS — Jurors have convicted a 23-year-old man of killing a mentally impaired adult to steal his Xbox 360 gaming system.
An El Paso County judge sentenced Derek Lee Hernandez to two terms of life in prison immediately after the verdict Friday. Co-defendant Kyle Sebastian Stott is already serving a life sentence in the case.
Prosecutors say 22-year-old Jason Holley was nearly beheaded with a double-edged blade on January 2009. Authorities found his decomposed body four months later in a ravine. The Colorado Springs Gazette reports that Holley had the maturity of a child and had been diagnosed with a genetic disorder that gave him an extra X-chromosome.
