A Fayette County jury took less than an hour Tuesday to convict a man on four felony counts, including kidnapping with bodily injury, and he received the maximum sentence on each count.

Derrick Brown was also found guilty of aggravated assault of a person over the age of 65, robbery by force and burglary in connection with the robbery and beating of an 83-year-old Fayette County woman last August.

Judge Johnnie Caldwell stated that Georgia law requires a life sentence in cases of kidnapping with bodily injury.

The other three charges all carry maximum sentences of 20 years in prison, which Caldwell gave Brown in each case. Caldwell also ordered that the sentences run consecutively.

Before the jury returned to the courtroom, at approximately 2:45 p.m. Tuesday, Caldwell instructed the audience that the verdict was to be received in "total silence," with no emotional outbursts.

After Brown was sentenced and taken from the courtroom, Caldwell began to thank the jury for its service when a woman who had just left the courtroom began screaming obscenities in the foyer.
