GRIFFIN SENTENCED TO LIFE

  

A Brazos County jury has sentenced Stanley Griffin to life in prison.

Back in 2012, Griffin was convicted of strangling 29-year-old Jennifer Hailey to death at her College Station home.  Her 9-year-old son was choked and stabbed in the neck but survived the attack.

Friends say Griffin was the boyfriend of one of Hailey's former co-workers.  According to original testimony, he tried to move in with Hailey before the murder, but she refused.

Griffin was originally sentenced to death.  However, in 2016, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals threw out the death sentence due to a lack of evidence.

The sentencing re-trial was held in the 361st District Court in Bryan.
