San Antonio cop-killer sentenced to death for murdering officer in car

A Texas man unanimously convicted of killing a San Antonio police officer in an ambush-style attack in 2016 was sentenced to death on Friday night.

Otis McKane, 31, was handed the death penalty by a Bexar County jury after nearly eight hours of deliberation. He was found guilty of capital murder last month for the execution-style slaying of beloved SAPD Detective Benjamin Marconi, 50, outside of police headquarters nearly five years ago. Extra officers were on staff for the sentencing hearing after McKane attacked a bailiff, hitting in him in the face with his elbow, on July 27, when he learned of his guilty conviction, reported KENS5.
