WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) -- Two men who were facing capital punishment will now serve life in prison without parole. Jamey Cheek and Kyle Berry took plea bargains in New Hanover County Court today. The two will spend the rest of their natural lives in prison.
Cheek was convicted in July 1997 by a New Hanover County jury for the murder of Barbara Oxendine. A jury convicted Berry in March 2001 for the 1998 murder of Teresa Fetter. Appeals courts set aside the sentences and sent the cases back to New Hanover County today.
"I think this is the best resolution for the families involved and for Mr. Berry, and everyone can start on with the rest of their lives now," said Marilin Ozer, one of Berry's attorneys.
Berry will serve two consecutive life sentences after he also pleaded guilty to the murder of Lisa Maves.

Escape from NY
We should implement the idea behind the old Kurt Russell movie "Escape from New York" and put all these "life sentence" animals in a walled off area and let them fend for themselves.
They get to live
Two cold blooded killers get the chance to live on OUR dime for the rest of their lives. Their victims didn't get that chance.
These two and many others should be taken out of the gene pool for they are a disease of the human race.
"I think this is the best resolution for the families involved and for Mr. Berry, and everyone can start on with the rest of their lives now," said Marilin Ozer, one of Berry's attorneys.
Excuse me! Their victims are forever dead and this is the "best resolution" for Mr. Berry? No wonder our country is in the shape it is.
No the best outcome is to
No the best outcome is to put them in the chair and let them go on! They in no way shape or form deserve the life, the air they breath or anything! Why should I as a tax payer, pay for them to eat, sleep,put clothes on their backs, go work out at the gym in the prison and go to school if they so choose to do so? Spending the rest of their lives in prison is too good for them!
why ?
Those animals didn't show any mercy on their victims why should they have any ? I hope they have Big Bubba as a cell mate! That would serve them well. Plus they will have to fight to stay alive in the big house. I could almost hear all the ones seeing them coming saying fresh meat, fresh meat. Serves them right. So maybe not getting the death penalty is better except the part where as tax payers have to support the scum bags. Enough said.
