Sentencing hearing set for Thursday for Campbell man

By Brad Kellar

Campbell – A Campbell man will learn next week how long he'll spend in prison for the murder of his wife.

32-year-old James Ray Brown Jr. will receive his sentence next Thursday, after having pleaded guilty to murdering his wife in June. A judge Thursday scheduled next week's hearing, which had previously been postponed.

Brown is said to have killed 28-year-old Avis Baker Brown at the couples' residence in October, 2008. He is facing a maximum sentence of from five to 99 years to life in prison.
