Man gets life in prison for 2011 murder of Anniston police officer Justin Sollohub

Russell, 35, had been convicted of the crime in 2013, but that sentence was reversed in an appellate court in 2017 and he was granted a new sentencing trial.

Anniston police Chief Nick Bowles said the verdict was not the option the department would have preferred. “I appreciate the hard work of DA McVeigh, Chief Assistant DA Hammond and the Calhoun County District Attorney’s Office for serving Justin Sollohub and fighting for his family.”“The jury made a decision and we are absolutely fine with the decision the jury made,” Morris said. “Of course we were hoping for a little different outcome, but we’re fine with the outcome we have.”

Morris said that she felt the District Attorney’s office had done their best, and that she and the family had had great support throughout the entire ordeal.“I believe this should give closure to the family. I respect the jury’s decision,” McVeigh said.
