Now with the latest crime and justice breaking news, Crime Online's John Limley. In Wisconsin, a man has been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for the brutal murder of a five-year-old boy. For more, we turn to Sydney Sumner of Crime Online. Our friends with the Milwaukee Journal report that 27-year-old David Petora received the sentence from Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Gene Kyes for his role in the death of Prince McCree last year. Petora had been living with the child's family along with a then 15-year-old boy. According to prosecutors, Petora and the teenager beat Prince to death in the basement of the home using their fists,

a barbell, a concrete bird feeder, and a golf club. After the attack, they hid the boy's body in a dumpster. During the sentencing, Petora expressed that he did not believe he deserved parole and stated that he would deserve the death penalty if it were available in Wisconsin. His attorney, Russell Jones, had argued for the possibility of parole after 40 years, but the judge ruled otherwise. Petora pleaded guilty to first-degree intentional homicide in June, leading to the dropping of additional charges of child abuse and hiding a corpse. The motive behind the killing remains unclear,

though Petora mentioned that the teenager had expressed a desire to harm Prince because he did not like him. The teenager involved in the case, now 16, is facing charges in adult court, including first-degree intentional homicide. His attorney is seeking to move the case to juvenile court. The case has prompted legislative action, with Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers signing a law in April to expand the state's missing person alerts for children.

The Wisconsin legislation was inspired in part by Prince's death and another high-profile case involving the murder of 14-year-old Lily Peters in Chippewa Falls in 2022. A New Jersey man has been sentenced to life in prison of 14-year-old Lily Peters in Chippewa Falls in 2022. A New Jersey man has been sentenced to life in prison for the second time in connection with the brutal murder of a woman found in her burning home nearly a dozen years ago. Once again, Crime Online, Sidney Sumner. 49-year-old Daniel Roche has now been sentenced for the 2012 death

of 70-year-old Barbara Venneri, an East Coast Rutherford real estate agent. According to our friends at NorthJersey.com, Venneri was beaten and set on fire while still alive. Her body was discovered inside her home. Roche's first conviction was overturned in 2022 when an appellate court ruled that the DNA evidence linking him to the crime was unreliable. He was retried this year and convicted in April on multiple charges, including murder, arson, felony murder, desecration, hindering, and false swearing. Bergen County Judge Christopher Caslow handed down the life sentence, which under state law typically means 75 years, with a requirement that 85 percent of the sentence be served before eligibility for parole. Additionally, Roche received 10-year sentences for the arson and

desecration convictions, along with lesser terms for the other charges. Judge Caslow described the murder as brutal and senseless and noted Roche's lack of remorse, highlighting his, quote, striking tone and demeanor during police interviews. During the sentencing, Roche proclaimed his innocence in court, claiming that the true perpetrator had not been brought to justice. Roche's attorney, Eric Feinberg, argued that his client had lost valuable years of his life during his incarceration and unsuccessfully sought a new trial. Roche's mother, Janet, spoke in court, asserting that her son had a warm relationship with Venneri and suggesting that his visit to

her home days before her death was misinterpreted by law enforcement. Prosecutors had argued that Roche intended to rob Venary to pay a debt of $11,000 to an ex-girlfriend. Thanks, John.
