MAN GETS LIFE FOR 1993 MURDER


A convicted rapist already serving prison time in Ohio has been sentenced to life in prison in Florida for killing a woman in Orlando nearly 18 years ago. An Orange County judge sentenced 39-year-old Dennis McCroskey on Tuesday. He pleaded guilty to first-degree murder last month in exchange for prosecutors agreeing not to pursue the death penalty. McCroskey’s life sentence in Florida will begin after he serves his time in Ohio, where he was sentenced in 1996. (AP)
