GREENSBURG, Pa. (AP) — A man sentenced to at least 20 years in prison in one Pennsylvania courtroom has followed that up by walking into another courtroom to marry his girlfriend.
The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports (http://bit.ly/1KR1CmH ) 47-year-old Greg Howard was sentenced Thursday in Westmoreland County Court for robbing and assaulting an elderly woman during a home invasion.
Prosecutors say the Monessen man and two other people got into the woman s house by pretending to be delivering furniture. Witnesses say they took $13,000 and jewelry and left her on her bed with her ankles and wrists bound.
Howard s closing argument had referenced Santa Claus, the tooth fairy and the Easter bunny. But he was silent at sentencing.
He was allowed to wear civilian clothes instead of a prison jumpsuit. He remained shackled during a brief wedding attended by five deputies and the bride s baby.
