Travis Reinking was convicted Friday on all 16 counts on which he was charged, including four counts of first-degree murder for killing four people in a mass shooting at a Nashville Waffle House in 2018. On Saturday, the jury sentenced him to life in prison without the possibility of parole, the Tennessean reports. Davidson County Criminal Court Judge Mark Fishburn will decide later, likely in May, whether the sentences will run concurrently or consecutively. Reinking's defense team never challenged the facts of the case and agreed he was the shooter, but argued his schizophrenia was so severe that it kept him from realizing his actions were wrong.
