TULSA — A judge sentenced 63-year-old Stanley Vernon Majors on Tuesday to life in prison without the possibility of parole for gunning down his Lebanese neighbor in front of his south Tulsa home.
The jury that convicted Majors earlier this month recommended that the life sentence not carry the possibility of parole, and the judge concurred.
Prosecutors say Majors killed his neighbor near 91st and Memorial after bombarding him with racial insults for years.
Defense attorneys argued that Majors showed signs of dementia and appeared to have problems with his long-term memory.
