After having found Davis to be a violent repeat offender, Judge Heile sentenced Davis to life in prison on the first count of aggravated murder and is eligible for parole after 30 years.

Slone was shot twice in the head as she slept. The Butler County prosecutor said that Brandon Davis planned to kill her and shot her first. He then ordered Perry Hart to shoot her again.

“She was rotting in a trash can,” Kilgore said through tears during Tuesday's emotional sentencing of Brandon Davis, 46, who was convicted of orchestrating Slone's execution-style killing.
