The convicted killer who murdered his ex-girlfriend and University of Miami linebacker Marlin Barnes in a “jealous rage” had his death row sentence reversed and will spend the rest of his life behind bars, sparking outrage from the victims’ loved ones. Labrant Dennis was sentenced to life in prison without parole in a Miami-Dade courtroom on Thursday, nearly 30 years after he was convicted in the bludgeoning deaths of Barnes and Timwanika Lumpkins inside the football player’s campus apartment, NBC Miami reported. Dennis was convicted of the double murders in 1998 and spent nearly two decades on death row before he was granted a new sentencing trial by the Florida Supreme Court in 2017 due to constitutional issues with the state’s death penalty.
