Jury spares Hough from death sentence

A jury has recommended that Terrance Hough Jr. spend the rest of his
life in prison for his killing spree last summer.

Jurors reached their decision less than three hours after they began deliberating. They could have recommended a death sentence or sentence of life in prison with no parole or with parole eligibility in 25 or 30 years.

Hough, 36, opened fire on his neighbor and a group of friends during a
dispute over noise just after midnight July 5.

He killed Jacob Feichtner, 24, who lived next door, as well as Feichtner's friends Katherine Rosby, 26, and Bruce Anderson, 30. Donny Walsh, 24,and his 25-year-old fiancee, Katherine Nicholas, were also shot but survived.

Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Judge Shirley Strickland Saffold imposed
the sentence after the victims and their families gave statements.
