Heraclio Osorio-Arellanes, a Mexican national, was found guilty in February of slaying Brian Terry, 40, during a gun battle between border agents and several members of a "rip crew" looking to rob drug smugglers along the U.S.-Mexico border.
The defendant was sentenced by a U.S. district judge in Tucson, Arizona.
