Life term imposed in Pa. slaying near playground
A judge has imposed a life prison term on a man in a slaying near a crowded eastern Pennsylvania playground last year despite the defendant's insistence that he is innocent.
The Reading Eagle ( http://bit.ly/RjtA1y) says Berks County Judge Paul Yatron sentenced 20-year-old Jaquill Blake of Reading on Monday, calling him "an extraordinarily dangerous young man."
Jurors convicted Blake of first-degree murder on Friday in the April 2011 death of 21-year-old Alexis Rosario. Witnesses testified that he continued to fire even after the victim fell.
Blake told the judge "Whatever time you give me, I'm still innocent."
Waldron also imposed another seven to 14 years on weapons and other counts despite objections from defense attorney William Bispels Jr., who said the life term already carried no possibility of parole.
