(Travis County Mug Shot)
A Travis County jury deliberated more than eight hours Friday before condemning Brandon Daniel for the, 2012, death of Officer Jaime Padron.
The jury had the option of sentencing Daniel to life imprisonment without parole.
Daniel was sentenced one week after the jury returned a guilty verdict to his capital murder charge.
Padron was shot to death while answering a disturbance and shoplifting call at a Wal-Mart.
Daniel had acknowledged that he was under the influence of the anti-anxiety drug during the shooting.
