Скачать или смотреть 'Karina Got Justice': NYC Jogger Killer Gets Life Sentence | NBC 4 New York

The man convicted of killing Karina Vetrano, a 30-year-old Queens woman who went out for a run in her neighborhood park one summer day and never came home, was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole on Tuesday.

Vetrano was brutally strangled and sexually assaulted when she went running in Spring Creek Park in August 2016. Her father was among the search members to find her body in a marsh. She had only been a few blocks from home.

Nearly seven months later, Chanel Lewis, from Brooklyn, was arrested after prosecutors said DNA evidence found under Vetrano's fingernails linked him to the crime. He'll now spend the rest of his life behind bars.

He addressed the court briefly after the sentencing, saying, "I'm sorry for the family's loss ... but I didn't do this."
