A man sentenced to life in prison for his role in a deadly robbery attempt at a southwest Oklahoma City pharmacy attacked a district attorney after learning his sentence Monday.

Deliberations ended late Monday afternoon in the trial for suspects Emanuel Mitchell and Anthony Morrison.

As the District Attorney David Prater delivered a statement, one of the defendants, Emanuel Mitchell, jumped from the defense table and struck the prosecutor in the face.
