PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - A Canby man convicted of aggravated murder for shooting and killing a marijuana dealer in 2014 has been sentenced to life in prison.

The Oregonian/OregonLive.com reports that (https://bit.ly/1UuA25c ) that 29-year-old Michael Orren was sentenced Monday for the second time in the case. In February 2015, he was sentenced to 7 ½ years in prison for first-degree robbery. The sentences will run concurrently.

Orren is one of four people that have been convicted in the death of Edward Spangler, who was shot after a plot to steal his marijuana went awry.

Francis Weaver was found guilty of murder in March and sentenced to life in prison. Shannon Bettencourt and Orren’s ex-wife, Brittany Edicott, were convicted of robbery and both received 7 ½-year prison terms.
