Manwill murder case: Life without parole for Ehrlick, 25 years for Jenkins

Sentencing today in the murder of 8-year-old Robert Manwill resulted in a 25-year sentence for the late child's mother, Melissa Jenkins, and two consecutive sentences of life without parole for her boyfriend, Daniel Ehrlick, who was convicted of torturing the young boy to death, then tossing him in a canal before he and Jenkins appealed to the community to search for the missing child. You can see a full report here from KTVB-TV, including raw video from the courtroom.
