Jason Pilcher, convicted of the 1993 murders of Phyliss Floyd Albritton and her son Justin, is seeking to modify his two life sentences to include the possibility of parole. His request follows U.S. Supreme Court rulings that restrict automatic life-without-parole sentences for juveniles.

In August 1993, Pilcher and Brandy Wiley, both 15, ran away from Shreveport and committed a series of burglaries before arriving at the Albritton home in Robeline. After receiving water and a phone from the family, Pilcher suddenly shot Phyliss Albritton in the head. He then chased 11-year-old Justin to his room and fatally shot him. Amanda Albritton escaped unharmed and alerted authorities. Pilcher and Wiley fled in the Albritton’s stolen truck but were arrested the next day.

Pilcher has been pursuing resentencing since the 2012 rulings. A six-day hearing, presided over by Judge Desiree Duhon Dyess, concluded on Jan. 28.

Testimonies were heard from Pilcher’s former teacher, his brother, medical experts, and the Albritton family, including a pre-recorded message from surviving victim Amanda.

The court will determine whether Pilcher’s sentence should allow for parole eligibility in the future. A ruling is expected in March.
