He was found guilty on three counts of murder, two counts of first-degree burglary, one county of first-degree arson, one count of criminal attempt to commit arson and three counts of tampering with physical evidence. Christian County Circuit Court Chief Judge John Atkins formally sentenced Martin last month to life in prison without the possibility of parole with his defense attorneys immediately filing an appeal.
The trial in Hardin County and his sentencing in Christian Circuit Court gained national attention when both were covered and broadcast on Court-TV.
The episode will air on Dateline NBC Friday evening at 8:00 local time.
