Two guilty in store guard's death get life in prison

PONTIAC (AP) -- A Pontiac couple convicted in the dragging death of a Kmart loss prevention officer has been sentenced to life in prison. Forty-year-old James Woodworth and 20-year-old Samantha Lomasney apologized Tuesday during sentencing in an Oakland County court. They were convicted last month of first-degree felony murder in the January death of 36-year-old Greg Wainio. Wainio was dragged and crushed as he tried to stop the couple from driving away from a Waterford Township Kmart store with $400 in CDs. Defense attorneys had sought a lesser charge, saying the couple panicked and meant no harm. Prosecutors say their actions ended in first-degree murder. The victim's brother John Wainio told Woodworth and Lomasney at Tuesday's hearing that he wants to see them die in jail. Published: Fri, Nov 26, 2010
