Authorities say John C. Davis killed his best friend, 34-year-old Flint Wolff of North Pole, and wounded Wolff's 70-year-old mother, Margaret, to avoid going back to prison.
Flint Wolff, a gold miner and school bus driver, was Davis' third-party custodian while Davis awaited trial on possession of child pornography charges.
Margaret Wolff said that her son thought his friend was innocent but had a change of heart shortly before being shot.
Davis was convicted of murder and attempted murder.
