A man convicted on charges related to the 1995 kidnapping and murder of atheist leader Madalyn Murray O Hair and her family has been resentenced to nearly 50 years in prison.
Gary Karr had already spent over 20 years behind bars after being convicted of extortion and other charges related to the triple murder. He was given a fresh sentence of 595 months by U.S. District Judge Lee Yeakel on Friday, according to Austin, Texas NBC affiliate KXAN. Yeakel reportedly called the case just as serious a crime as I have ever seen in this court while handing Karr the maximum possible sentence.
