Alonzo Johnson is sentenced on Friday to life in prison

Tulsa District Judge Tom Gillert formally sentenced Alonzo Johnson to two life sentences Friday morning.

The judge's court clerk says Johnson's sentence will run consecutively.

This is in connection to a jury's verdict in December for the shooting death of 63-year-old Neal Sweeney.  Johnson was convicted of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder.

Sweeney was shot in September of 2008 at his marketing business.  A short time later he passed away.

Court records show Gillert did receive a letter from a female juror who said she voted with other jurors because they had all come to an unanimous decision.  Despite the letter, Gillert decided there was no basis to conduct a hearing regarding the jury.
