BRIEF: Brandon Daniel gets death sentence for killing Austin police officer Jaime Padron [Austin American-Statesman :: ]


(Austin American-Statesman (TX) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) March 01--For the past two weeks, Brandon Daniel has been called a calculating, remorseless killer by the state, and a brilliant, depression-wracked computer scientist by his lawyers.
