Jury picks life sentence for Arkansas man convicted in death

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) — An Arkansas man convicted in the torture, sexual assault and killing of a 24-year-old woman has been spared the death penalty and sentenced instead to life in prison.
Mark Edward Chumley is one of five people accused in the 2015 killing of Victoria Annabeth Davis. Prosecutors say the group, which includes Davis’ husband, sexually assaulted the woman and connected her body to a battery charger before beating her to death with baseball bats.
