US man gets life sentence in slayings of 7 women
None
A Milwaukee man convicted of killing seven women over a 21-year period was sentenced to life in prison Thursday with no chance of parole. Walter E. Ellis, 50, was convicted last week after he pleaded no contest to charges of first-degree intentional homicide and first-degree murder, which carry a mandatory sentence of life in prison.
Judge Dennis Cimpl had the option of allowing the possibility of parole but declined. He sentenced Ellis to seven consecutive life sentences. (AP)
