Man sentenced in abduction, slayings of two women
DETROIT (AP) -- A judge ripped into a 24-year-old man charged in the gunpoint abduction of two Detroit-area women who were shot and buried in a city park.
Miguel Rodriguez was sentenced last Friday to 20 to 35 years in prison as part of a guilty plea to second-degree murder.
Wayne County Circuit Judge Vonda Evans called Rodriguez "a coward and a loser," telling him he can wash his body but never wash his soul "of the blood that's on it."
Hamtramck residents Abreeya Brown and Ashley Conaway were abducted and killed in February. Rodriguez bought the shovel used to bury the women and led police to their bodies.
Earlier last week, juries convicted Reginald Brown, his cousin Jeremy Brown, Brandon Cain and Brian Lee in the slayings. They will be sentenced Dec. 21.
