At one point, Eizember lifted his head and mouthed, “I love you,” toward his daughter and attorneys.
He was convicted of murdering an elderly couple – 76-year-old AJ Cantrell and 70-year-old Patsy Cantrell – on Oct. 18, 2003.
After killing the Cantrells, he broke into his ex-girlfriend’s home and attacked both her son and mother before fleeing the scene in a stolen vehicle. Johnny Melton, the couple’s nephew, said that the past two decades have been “absolutely excruciating.”
