CLOVIS, N.M.—A New Mexico teenager convicted of opening fire and killing two people at a public library will spend decades in prison before being eligible for parole under a sentence imposed Feb. 15 by a state district judge.
Judge James Hudson made his decision after hearing emotional testimony during a 3-day proceeding. He sentenced Nathaniel Jouett as an adult to two life sentences that will run concurrently plus 40 years in prison for carrying out the 2017 shooting at the Clovis library.
