Cobb jury sentences Drucker to death

COBB COUNTY, Ga.,None — A Cobb County jury has sentenced Joshua Drucker to death.

Drucker was found guilty of 4 counts of murder earlier this month in the 2004 deaths of Andrew Robertson and Lora Nikolova.

During Drucker’s trial Lawyers for both sides did not dispute that Drucker pulled the trigger, but prosecutors painted Drucker as a cold-blooded, drug-addicted killer while the defense team told jurors the killings were an accident and possibly a crime of passion.

Drucker had begged Cobb County Judge Robert Flournoy at the end of his trial for a mistrial because his lawyers did not call witnesses he believed could sway the case. Drucker claimed the prosecution also intimidated witnesses. Flournoy denied his request.

There is no word yet on when Drucker’s sentenced is to be carried out.
