Mississippi teen found guilty in mother's death
Luke Woodham, 17, was convicted of murdering his mother Mary Woodham in Philadelphia Mississippi after stabbing her and beating her with an aluminum bat. He was sentenced to life in prison, with no parole until age 65, and faces a separate trial in the Pearl High School shootings. Prosecutors called him murderous and planned, while defense argued mental illness and influence by a cult-like group led by Grant Boyette.
