LAS VEGAS (AP) — A judge has ordered an alleged Las Vegas pimp to life in prison without the possibility of parole in the 2010 beating death of a 21-year-old woman.
Judge James Bixler sentenced Marshall Greene on Tuesday, telling him the killing of Alicia Lee was as brutal a beating as he'd ever seen.
Authorities say the young woman called her mother the day before the killing, saying she was afraid to return home to the apartment she shared with Greene because she'd lost $300 gambling with a friend and thought he would be upset. The mother described Greene as Lee's pimp.
Prosecutors say Greene scolded Lee and whipped her with a belt for several hours as she cried for mercy.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports (http://bit.ly/1oHZofN ) Greene cried and apologized at sentencing.
