Mr. Osorio-Arellanes, who was taken into custody by Mexican authorities in 2017, was the sixth of seven defendants convicted and sentenced in the case. Prosecutors said that Jesus Favela-Astorga, the sole defendant still facing trial, was also arrested by Mexican authorities in 2017 and was awaiting extradition to the United States. Agent Terry’s sister Michelle Balogh said Wednesday that she had traveled from her home in Michigan to witness the sentencing of Mr. Osorio-Arellanes in Tucson, along with another sister, Kelly Willis. Ms. Balogh, 51, said she had not missed a single hearing in the criminal cases stemming from the killing of her brother, and was satisfied that Mr. Osorio-Arellanes was sentenced to life in prison. “It’s only fair,” Ms. Balogh said.
