Antonio “AJ” Armstrong Jr., the son of former NFL linebacker Antonio Armstrong, was convicted of capital murder on Wednesday for shooting his parents in 2016.
A Texas jury found Armstrong, 23, guilty of murdering former NFL linebacker Antonio Armstrong Sr. and Dawn Armstrong, both 42, after two days of deliberations, according to court documentation obtained by PEOPLE, which also stated Armstrong was “sentenced to life with parole.”
Forensic psychiatrist Dr. Mark Moeller was the last witness for the defense, who analyzed the medical records of Josh Armstrong from December 2016, according to KHOU. Josh is the older brother of the convicted killer, whom the defense portrayed as an “alternate suspect,” per the outlet.
Attorneys argued that Josh’s mental-health problems preceded the murders in an attempt to sway the jurors, KHOU reported.
“We looked at multiple records throughout all different types of institutions relating to Josh and his delusional states believing he was either God or the Devil,” defense attorney Chris Collings said during closing arguments Tuesday, Houston Public Media reported. “We know that he had command voices in his head that told him to harm himself or others.”
