Rashad Dooley, 29, was found guilty in September of conspiracy to commit murder and burglary, and attempted robbery in connection with Old Dominion University student Christopher Cummings' 2011 death. On Friday, a judge sentenced him to 25 years in jail.
A jury acquitted Javon Doyle, 32, after a little more than two hours of deliberations. It was Doyle's second trial in the case. The first ended with a hung jury.
This is the second time Javon Doyle has gone to trial for Chris Cummings' murder. A judge declared a mistrial in August 2022 after jurors couldn't reach a verdict.
