A Nevada jury has decided that a man will serve life in state prison with no chance of parole for breaking into a room at a Las Vegas Strip hotel-casino and killing two Vietnamese tour leaders in 2018. The defendant, 37-year-old Julius Damiano Deangilo Trotter, was spared a death sentence by the jury that found him guilty of murder, burglary, and robbery in the stabbings of Sang Boi Nghia and Khoung Ba Le Nguyen at the Circus Circus hotel.
Defense attorney Lisa Rasmussen stated that Trotter and his legal team appreciated the jury's decision but mentioned that Trotter plans to appeal his conviction and sentence as part of the criminal justice system. The jury, after hearing testimony from Trotter, his relatives, and the family members of the victims, chose to remove the death penalty as an option and sentenced Trotter to life in prison.
