The last of five defendants has been sentenced for her role in a triple slaying that happened more than eight years ago in Kalamazoo County.
Twenty-four-year-old Angela McConnell of Kalamazoo was sentenced Monday in Kalamazoo County Circuit Court to three terms of life in prison with no possibility of parole.
She was convicted in October of three counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of 93-year-old Marinus Polderman, his 91-year-old wife Sary Polderman and their 63-year-old daughter Anna Gipson Lewis.
The victims were beaten and stabbed during a robbery at the Poldermans' home in Pavilion Township in August 2000.
Three of the other four defendants also are serving life-without-parole sentences.
