RACINE, Wis. (AP) - A Racine man has been sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for killing a retired teacher who doled out quarters to those in need at laundries in town.
Sixty-eight-year-old Wilbert Thomas was convicted in June in the October 2010 beating and strangulation of 67-year-old Sandra Lee Teichow, of Lake Geneva, and of stealing her quarters.
The Journal Times reports (Life sentence for teacher's murder ) that Thomas attended Thursday's hearing in a padded suicide-prevention suit and sat in a wheelchair. He told the court he'll appeal.
Racine County Circuit Court Judge Tim Boyle rejected Thomas' insanity plea. He ruled last month that while Thomas had a mental condition at the time of the killing, he had the mental capacity to understand that his actions could result in her death.
Black I suppose?
