Overview

• Bynum, 31, received a life sentence in Middlesex County court on Monday after his conviction for fatally shooting Dwumfour outside her Sayreville home.
• A jury found him guilty in June following a month-long trial on murder and weapons charges.
• Defense attorney Michael Ashley says an appeal is planned and has argued there was no direct evidence tying Bynum to the shooting.
• Prosecutors relied on toll pass and cellphone data showing travel from Virginia to New Jersey before the killing and a return trip afterward.
• Police evidence at trial included shell casings linked to a Glock handgun recovered from under Dwumfour’s sister’s bed.
