LEESBURG, Va. – A Virginia judge will decide this week whether to impose a 74-year prison sentence that a jury set for a retired Army major who shot and wounded two sheriff’s deputies. Several jurors who convicted Douglas Vernon Johnson Jr., 54, told the Washington Post that they either believed they were giving him a lower sentence or wish they had the power to do so. The Loudoun County Circuit Court judge who is scheduled to sentence Johnson on Wednesday can reduce the jury’s punishment. Defense attorney Edward Ungvarsky is asking for a 20-year prison term. Five jurors signed affidavits for the defense saying they thought Johnson deserved a chance to be released earlier.

– Laura is now a Category 1 hurricane but still blowing hard enough to be deadly. The first reported death was of a Louisiana girl whose house was hit by a tree. John Bel Edwards said the 14-year-old girl died in Leesville, more than 100 miles inland from the coast. The governors of Louisiana and Texas say search and rescue teams are still looking, but they’ve found no reports so far of widespread fatalities. Both governors say the storm surge appears to have been not as bad as they feared.
