SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Jurors Tues
day sentenced Michael Lee Lockhart to
death by drug injection for the March 22
killing of a Beaumont police officer.
The Bexar County jury convicted him
Oct. 4 of the murder of 29-ycar-old Paul
Douglas Hulsey Jr., who had gone to a
motel to investigate a suspicious car.
Lockhart, 28, also accused of slayings
in Indiana and Florida, showed no emo
tion when the sentence, reached after
two hours of deliberation, was an
nounced.
Hulsey’s family — his widow. Bar
bara; father, Paul Hulsey Sr., and
mother, Mary Joe — hugged each other
when the sentence was read.
“My son started an investigation, as a
result he lost his life,” Hulsey said.
“The jury just finished his job. They
don’t want this beast like a roving lion
out in society devouring whoever he
wants.”
Lockhart, in handcuffs and leg
shackles, was placed in a wheelchair and
rushed out of the courtroom.
“It’s only what he deserves,” Barbara
Hulsey said of Lockhart. “But a prick
with a needle is such a far cry from the
excruciating death suffered by my hus
band.”
Defense attorney Charles Carver, who
had objected to blood samples taken
from Lockhart being admitted into evi
dence, said the defendant was not sur
prised by the sentence.
“We are certainly disappointed, but
this case will be appealed,” Carver said.
“It’s been a long exhausting trial.”
Jefferson County prosecutors said they
would work with other states in trying to
get Lockhart tried in other capital murder
cases.
A New Jersey psychologist who stud
ied Lockhart ended testimony for the de
fense Monday in the sentencing phase of
the trial by saying the Toledo, Ohio, na
tive suffers anxiety and other problems
as a result of incidents of molestation, in
cest and rape he suffered while growing
up.
Psychologist Rashni Skadegaard’s tes
timony was based on 20 hours of inter
views with Lockhart, interviews with his
parents and three of his sisters and a re
view of his medical, prison and school
records.
To recommend the death penalty, ju
rors had to agree that Lockhart deliber
ately killed Hulsey, is a continuing threat
to society and responded unreasonably to
provocation, if any, on the part of Hul
sey.
A “no” answer to any of the three
special issues would have meant life in
prison for Lockhart.

“(Lockhart is) a person whose anger
toward women is totally out of control,”
Skadegaard told the court. “It’s not the
behavior of a sane person who is in his
right mind.”
