A 20-year-old New Jersey thug convicted of killing a Lakewood police officer has been sentenced to life in prison.
Jahmell Crockam appeared before a judge in Ocean County on Thursday.
Authorities say because Crockam was convicted of murdering Patrolman Christopher Matlosz, the law requires a life sentence without the possibility of parole.
Crockam, 20, was convicted on all charges in front of a Jury with a unanimous verdict on February 16.

Justice, you called it?
For a 20 year old, life is a very long time.
nitpicker…Professionally I been on the inside of NJ State Prison in Trenton, the facilioty where virtually all those on life/no parole sentences are inarcerated in New Jersey…if you think that’s not heavy duty punishment you’re simply very mistaken.
I didn’t mean to imply that life in prison for anyone is not heavy duty punishment. for a 20 year old worse.
in some places still worse.
but it is still not right.
nothing I can say here has not been said before, nothing can can reply has not been said before. so perhaps I shouldn’t have commented.
