Reta Mays, an Army National Guard vet who served in a non-combat position in Iraq and Afghanistan, pleaded guilty in 2020 to the seven killings at Clarksburg’s Louis A. Johnson VA Medical Center at a July plea hearing. A federal judge handed the 46-year-old consecutive life sentences on Tuesday afternoon for each of the seven counts of second-degree murder she said she committed.
