A Lubbock County judge sentenced 27-year-old Alonzo Lewis to life in prison without the chance for parole for the 2007 death of an Air Force Colonel.
Police say Lewis robbed then fatally stabbed 71-year-old Don McCullough in his southwest Lubbock home.
This after the former Colonel offered Lewis water.
Now two years later, McCullough's family faced Lewis in the courtroom, where McCullough's widow told her husband's killer she'd forgiven him.
"To just look at him and not feel awful about it and to know that hopefully he will find the Lord and that he'll also see my husband again someday to say he's sorry," Don McCullough's widow, Margaret Mary McCullough, says.
District Attorney Matt Powell says this is the first case in Lubbock County where someone has pleaded guilty and accepted life without parole.
