A man accused of racial slur and prosecuted for killing two people on a Max light rail train in Portland in 2017 has been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of being released on parole.

Jeremy Christian had been found guilty of 12 counts of murder and attempted murder earlier this year.

Multnomah county circuit judge Cheryl Albrecht  gave Christian a true life sentence on both murder counts and held it will be served consecutively in order to honour each life lost.

While his trial had lasted Christian had an altercation with a black woman Demetria Hester who said the convict threatened to kill her and threw a bottle at her which left her with black eye.

This according to her testimony was a day before the MAX killings.

On May the 26th 2017, Christian was drinking an alcoholic beverage on the MAX train before he began ranging about religion, politics and race.

Two black teenage girls who felt targeted by his comments changed their seats to give space between them and Christian.

Two other passengers got into an argument with Christian over his statement, and the convict brought out a 4 inch knife and stabbed his victims.
