NEW YORK (AP) — A man convicted of murder in the 2016 death of a New York City runner was sentenced to life in prison on Tuesday.
Chanel Lewis was convicted earlier this month of killing Karina Vetrano in a case that stirred urban fears, helped change the state's DNA-investigation rules and raised questions about race and police procedures.
On Monday, the judge denied a defense motion to set aside the guilty verdict after hearing arguments about alleged juror misconduct. The attack redoubled the wariness of women who run alone, and it baffled investigators for a time. Lewis was arrested six months later. And Lewis recorded a confession, saying he was upset at someone else — a neighbor of his who played loud music — and"lost it" when he saw Vetrano.Lewis said he strangled Vetrano but didn't sexually abuse her.
