Sophia Downing Penalty Phase
A tear rolls down Sophia Downing's cheek as she listens to the testimony of Jillian Becker during the penalty phase in Marion County Circuit Court, in Salem, Ore., on Wednesday, April 25, 2012. Becker was the victim of an assault by Downing and another person in 1996. Downing was convicted on two counts of first degree manslaughter, second degree assault, driving under the influence and reckless endangerment earlier in April.
