It's guilty verdicts for both men charged with a double murder in Horry County.

After deliberating for nearly two hours, the jury found Jimmy Lee Sessions and Christopher Stephens both guilty on all charges in connection with the murders of Jamila Hytower and Monica Wall.

Sessions was sentenced to life without the possibility of parole, while Stevens was sentenced to 40 years in prison for being an accessory to the murder and an additional 30 years for being an accessory to armed robbery.

Assistant Horry County Solicitor Brad Richardson told NewsChannel 15 Stevens will serve his two sentences concurrently.

The two men were tried once before on these charges, but the jury deadlocked, and the judge declared a mistrial.
