Man sentenced to nearly 12 years in girlfriend's killing
COLUMBUS, Kan. (AP) — A man has been sentenced to 11 years and nine months in prison for killing his girlfriend in southeast Kansas.
The Joplin Globe reports that 46-year-old John Francis was sentenced Wednesday for second-degree murder and criminal possession of a firearm in the April shooting death of 29-year-old Kelly Glasgow at their Galena home. He originally was charged with first-degree murder and pleaded guilty to the reduced count last month through a plea agreement.
Francis has several prior drug convictions and was on parole from the Missouri prison system at the time.
