Bush was sentenced Tuesday in Jefferson Circuit Court to life without parole for the murders of Maurice Stallard and Vickie Lee Jones on Oct. 24, 2018.
He pleaded guilty but mentally ill, which means the Kentucky Department of Corrections will be obliged to provide him treatment and medication.
In a statement, Commonwealth s Attorney Tom Wine said, Vickie Jones and Maurice Stallard were senselessly murdered because of the color of their skin. Our entire community and commonwealth had suffered a loss because of racial enmity.
Assistant Commonwealth s Attorney Milja Zgonjanin, who prosecuted the case, said: Our position is that there is nothing the criminal justice system could do to undue the harm Mr. Bush did that day. But he is now been held accountable and is no longer in position to do similar harm.
