Minot man convicted of killing woman sentenced to 40 years
MINOT, N.D. (AP) — A Minot man convicted of murder in the fatal stabbing of his ex-girlfriend last year has been sentenced to 40 years in prison.
The Minot Daily News reports 28-year-old Bradley Morales was sentenced Friday.
A jury in May convicted Morales in the August 2017 death of 25-year-old Sharmaine Leake after an apparent domestic dispute. She died six days later when her family took her off life support.
Morales's lawyer, Steven Mottinger, says the sentence will be appealed.
