BESSEMER, Ala. (AP) - A Jefferson County Jury is scheduled to debate the fate of a former male stripper who was convicted of stabbing to death four people in a suburban home after he and his girlfriend split.
The jury is set to return 9 a.m. Monday to decide whether to sentence Scott Lamar Abbott to death after he was convicted Friday of the four killings.
Prosecutors say Abbott killed ex-girlfriend, 27-year-old Jeri Lyn Cole, and three others after she broke up with him.
Defense attorneys argued that Abbott was suffering from mental illness at the time and therefore was not guilty.
