NEW LONDON, Conn. (AP) - A man who pleaded guilty to fatally beating a father of five from the Eastern Pequot (PEE’-kwaht) Tribal Nation more than 11 years ago has been sentenced to 20 years in prison.
The Day reports that 33-year-old Christopher Vincenti was sentenced Monday after pleading guilty to first-degree manslaughter.
Prosecutors say Vincenti and his co-defendant Timothy Johnson robbed 40-year-old Anthony Hamlin for drug money, beat the man to death and left his body in a field in Ledyard in January 2006.
