GUILTY LA - Darnell Stewart, 23, shot to death, New Orleans, 13 May 2008

[UdbCrzy2]

Retired Judge Dennis Waldron this morning delayed the sentencing of Telly Hankton for one week after his lawyers filed a motion requested a retrial. Hankton faces a mandatory life sentence after being convicted of second-degree murder in the 2008 shooting death of Darnell Stewart.

With no comment on the crime, a judge sentenced Telly Hankton to life in prison Wednesday following his conviction in the brazen killing of Darnell Stewart along South Claiborne Avenue in 2008...

A jury on Sept. 23 found Hankton, 35, guilty on a 10-2 vote in a retrial of the high-profile murder, which followed a car chase up and down South Claiborne.
