BALDWIN COUNTY, Ga. (WGXA) -- A man who was serving time at Baldwin State Prison when he murdered another inmate on Christmas in 2019 has gotten additional prison time.

Assistant District Attorney Tammey Coffey, who prosecuted the case, says that day, "two men went into cell 24 and only one came out alive."

Albert Glover, III and Michael Dawson, Jr. were both inmates at Baldwin State Prison when they were placed in the same cell.

Coffey said on or about Christmas Eve or Christmas Day in 2019, Glover attacked Dawson as the victim slept in his bunk.

"There was no fight," Coffey says.

Glover was uninjured while he attacked and killed Dawson, then pulled sheets up to his neck and put a hat on the victim's head to make it appear that he was asleep.

The next morning, Glover went to breakfast and took both his and Dawson's food trays.

Around 8 a.m., Glover told a correctional officer that his cellmate was unresponsive.

During the trial, which began with jury selection on Monday, Glover took the stand and admitted to killing Dawson, but said he did it in self-defense after Dawson allegedly touched Glover's chest. Glover said Dawson never got out of his bed, however.

When he was cross-examined, Glover was asked about setting the scene to make it look like the victim was sleeping. He responded, "he was asleep and still is."

During the trial Coffey says the state presented 12 witnesses; the defense presented three.

The trial ended on Thursday. The jury began deliberating around 10:40 a.m. and came back about two hours later, finding Glover guilty on all three counts -- malice murder, felony murder, and aggravated assault.

Coffey says that Glover addressed the court during sentencing, without showing remorse. He told the courtroom, "At least I get to see sunshine tomorrow, unlike someone, we all know who."

Glover was sentenced to life without parole.
