A man convicted of sexually assaulting and murdering a 54-year-old mother along a suburban Atlanta bike trail has been sentenced to death. The jury handed down the death sentence Friday against 46-year-old Michael Ledford. The same Paulding County jury took about 90 minutes to reach the verdict Monday in the 2006 slaying of Jennifer Ewing. Police said Ledford ambushed Ewing as she biked along the Silver Comet Trail, which runs from Smyrna to Alabama.
