The Los Angeles gangbanger who brutally murdered Judging Amy actress, Tara Correa-McMullen and another teen in 2005 has been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility for parole.
23-year old Damien Watts indiscriminately opened fire on a group of people outside an apartment complex, killing the actress and another girl, and wounding two men. McMullen had a recurring role on Judging Amy and had also appeared in the movie, Rebound. However, she had a tumultuous personal life which involved dealings with gangmembers. She was 16-years old at the time of her death. Watts murdered a 31-year old man the day before as the victim loaded laundry into his car.
Damien Watts was charged with murder with special circumstances, attempted murder, and several other charges. He was sentenced to two consecutive life terms. A co-defendant is awaiting trial.
