Jury convicts Thomas Mair of murdering UK lawmaker Jo Cox


A jury has found a man with white supremacist views guilty of murdering Labour lawmaker Jo Cox a week before Britain's EU membership referendum. Judge Alan Wilkie sentenced Thomas Mair to life without parole for killing Jo Cox, in what prosecutors called an act of terrorism. He said Mair pretended to be a patriot — but that Jo Cox was the true patriot. Cox's widower Brendan Cox told the court the family did not seek retribution against her killer. Jurors were told that 53-year-old Mair had pleaded not guilty, but his lawyers presented no evidence in his defense.
