In a 10-2 decision, the jury recommended Benito Albarran receive the death penalty for the 2005 murder of Huntsville Police Officer Daniel Golden. Judge Karen Hall has ordered a pre-sentence investigation/report and will set the actual sentencing date as soon as that report is completed.
These pre-sentence reports are standard procedure prior to sentencing and usually take around 30 days to complete. Judge Hall still retains the final sentencing authority but is expected to follow the jury's recommendation.
