Pa. judge won't reduce sentence for triple killer
LANCASTER, Pa.—A Pennsylvania judge says a teenager who killed three members of a family must serve three consecutive life terms.
Judge David Ashworth denied a motion on behalf of 17-year-old Alec Kreider to make the sentences concurrent.
Ashworth says Kreider bragged to a fellow inmate that he would kill again if he got the chance. The judge says he believes that and wants to make sure Kreider never has the opportunity.
Kreider's victims in May 2007 were a friend and classmate, 16-year-old Kevin Haines, and Kevin's parents, Tom and Lisa Haines.
The couple's daughter escaped.
