WEATHERFORD — A Parker County jury returned three life sentences late Wednesday afternoon for convicted kidnapper and rapist Jeffrey Allan Maxwell.
According to testimony presented during the trial, Maxwell abducted his former neighbor in March 2011 and beat, tortured and sexually assaulted her during the 12-day ordeal.
District Judge Trey Loftin stacked the two life sentences on the aggravated sexual assault charges, making Maxwell ineligible for release on parole for 60 years.
During her victim impact statement, Lois Pearson spoke of some of her losses but also of her belief that her life is a miracle from God.
