Life, no parole for killer of armored truck guard
DETROIT (AP) -- A man convicted of murder but spared the death penalty for the robbery-slaying of an armored-truck courier in Dearborn has received the mandatory sentence of life in prison without parole in Detroit federal court.
U.S. District Judge Victoria Roberts imposed the sentence Tuesday against 37-year-old Timothy O'Reilly.
He was convicted in the fatal shooting of Norman Stephens outside Dearborn Federal Credit Union in Dearborn in 2001. O'Reilly and others got away with $204,000.
A jury in August found O'Reilly guilty of murder but decided not to impose the death penalty against him.
Jurors say they couldn't unanimously find that O'Reilly intentionally killed the 30-year-old Stephens.
