FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) - In a story Oct. 18 about the sentencing of a man in a murder case, The Associated Press reported erroneously that Derrick Barnett will serve his sentence in a county jail. He will serve the sentence in a state prison.
A corrected version of the story is below:
Man gets 2 life sentences for killing married couple
A man was sentenced to two life terms for killing a married couple at their Arizona home
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) - A man will serve two life terms for killing a married couple at their Arizona home.
