North Carolina Man Pleads Guilty to Murdering 3 Muslims in 2015

VOA News

   A North Carolina man will spend the rest of his life in prison after
   pleading guilty Wednesday to charges of murdering a newlywed Muslim
   couple and the bride's sister.

   Craig Hicks was sentenced to three consecutive life terms, and an
   additional 64 to 89 months on charges of firing a weapon indoors.

   Prosecutors declined to pursue the death penalty, saying they wanted to
   conclude the case because it had been lingering before the court for
   two years.
