A jury spared cop killer Vernon Wayne Templeman from Colorado's gas chamber but the thankless thug pressed on with his evil ways behind bars.
Templeman, an escaped murderer from Kentucky, robbed a bank in Boulder on Dec. 6, 1982, traveled south - and gunned down a Colorado Springs police officer, Mark Layne Dabling, 30, a few hours later with a sawed-off rifle.
He was tried in 1983.
In a Colorado prison, Templeman joined the blood-thirsty 211 Crew, a white supremist gang founded in Denver and accused of conspiracy in the murder of state corrections chief Tom Clements in 2013.
Templeman was transferred to a prison in West Virgina after Colorado authorities broke up the gang in the wake of the Clements slaying and he is still believed to be imprisoned there.
