LaJeromeny Brown leaves court on Oct. 25, 2023, during his capital murder trial related to the shooting death of Huntsville police officer Billy Clardy III. A Madison County jury on Tuesday found LaJaromeny Brown guilty of capital murder in the 2019 slaying of Huntsville police officer Billy Clardy III in an undercover drug operation.The jury deliberated for parts of four days before returning the unanimous verdict.
The jury will reconvene for the penalty phase of the trial to determine if Brown is sentenced to death or life in prison without the opportunity for parole.

Prosecutors said Brown fled the house after the shooting and he was captured moments later about a block away.that he shot him during testimony Thursday, apologized to the Clardy family and expressed remorse. Prosecutors Tim Douthit and Tim Gann of the Madison County district attorney’s office questioned the sincerity of that apology during their closing arguments Thursday.and wrapped up in less than three days.
