On March 28, Avery pleaded guilty and was sentenced to serve two life sentences for the murder of Burgess and her unborn child, WSB-TV reported.

Coweta Judicial Circuit DA John H. Cranford Jr. said about the case: "While the family of Ms. Burgess will never fully heal from this senseless crime, the District Attorney's Office is relieved to have obtained a life sentence without the family experiencing the difficulty and uncertainty of a jury trial."
