Brittany Norwood Gets Life For Lululemon Store Murder of Jayna Murray
ST LOUIS (LALATE) – Brittany Norwood got life in prison Friday for the murder of Jayna Murray; Norwood murdered Murray inside a Lululemon yoga mat store. Brittany Norwood was given a life sentence in prison without the chance of parole for the 2011 murder of co-worker Murray inside the Lululemon store in Bethesda.
State’s Attorney John McCarthy had told news in 2011 that Norwood was enraged after Murray allegedly accused her of stealing store items. Murray died of trauma and stab wounds.
Murray told the court this week “Before I go to prison. I needed you to hear how deeply sorry I am.” The court told Norwood that she acted in a “cold-blooded .. brutal .. calculated … deliberate … devious” and “malicious” way.
Murray was stabbed with five weapons and suffered more than three hundred separate wounds. Murray was enraged that she was accused of stealing a pair of yoga pants.
The court said “You will live. You will see another sunrise, another sunset. It may be through a prison window. There’ll be Christmases, there’ll be telephone calls, there’ll be visits. The only visits Jayna Murray will have are those to her grave.” The court added “my sympathy for your plight, ma’am, does not begin — does not begin — to approach what I feel for the Murray family.”
