NEW YORK (AP) - A personal trainer was sentenced Friday to 25 years to life in prison for killing his ex-girlfriend, a dancer who dreamed of Broadway but wound up working as a stripper.
Paul Cortez had been convicted of murder in February for slashing the throat of Catherine Woods in her Manhattan apartment in 2005.
"He is a murderer, deserving nothing less than life in prison," the victim's father, Jon Woods, director of the Ohio State University marching band, said before the maximum sentence was imposed.
