SENTENCING
Yesterday, Martin MacNeill, 58, was sentenced to at least 15 years and up to life in prison on a murder charge, plus one to 15 years on an obstruction of justice charge. A third sentence in a separate conviction for sexual abuse against his daughter will add another one to 15 years.
Judge Derek Pullan ruled Friday the sentences will run consecutively, one after the other. The Utah parole board will decide later whether MacNeill can be released after 17 years or must serve a longer term.

I don't think MacNeill will ever be paroled. He'll be 75 by the time he's eligible anyway. I think he'll die in prison, as it should be.
