Man who pleaded guilty to double murder will spend life in prison

Donald Bert Richardson told a judge during his sentencing hearing that he was sorry for what he did and would think about his victims every day for the rest of his life.

Young's family told Eyewitness News today they are satisfied with the outcome of the sentencing, because, quote: "life in prison will prevent another innocent person from being harmed by Don."
