Overview
- Yazeed, sentenced Thursday in Tuskegee, received two life terms after convictions for murder and felony murder.
- Jurors did not convict him of capital murder, which removed the death penalty as an option.
- Her family urged the maximum sentence during the hearing and left the courtroom visibly relieved.
- Prosecutors showed video of Yazeed inside Blanchard's SUV and called about 40 witnesses during the trial.
- Yazeed was out on bail at the time, which spurred Aniah's Law allowing judges to deny bail for violent charges, and an expansion goes to voters May 19.
