WEST VIRGINIA: "Joshua Phillips has been sentenced to the maximum term of 40 years on 2nd-degree murder charges in the death of Charleston Police Patrolman Cassie Johnson.

He will be given credit for time served prior to today, Judge Bailey said. Phillips was also ordered to pay $8,000 in restitution to West Virginia Department of Homeland Security."
