Man sentenced in 2020 murder case, after concerns of political meddling by former DA Pamela Price

“I hope that you never forget me, or the kids you knew that lived in our home,” said Armstead, before looking directly at the shackled man and addressing him by name. “Remember us, Jamal, every single day for the rest of your life.”
