EVANSVILLE, Ind. — A southwestern Indiana woman, her daughter and husband have been sentenced for their roles in the death of a disabled Virginia woman whose body was found buried beneath a garage.

A Vanderburgh Circuit Court judge sentenced 56-year-old Joan Paul and 32-year-old Angela Paul to 30-year prison terms Monday.

They pleaded guilty in July to neglect of a dependent causing death in the death of 29-year-old Evonne Pullen of Winchester, Virginia.

The Evansville Courier & Press reports that Joan Paul’s husband, 57-year-old Gary Wayne Anderson, was sentenced to six years after he pleaded guilty in early August to assisting a criminal.

A dispute about fact vs. fiction at the trial over Tupac Shakur’s 1996 killing in Las Vegas

LAS VEGAS (AP) — A prosecutor said Monday that while few have been willing to speak about the 1996 killing of Tupac Shakur, Duane “Keffe D” Davis is the “one person who has a hard time being silent.” “Let’s be clear, Duane Davis did not pull the trigger. But he did plan the shooting in retaliation of the beating of his nephew,” Chief Deputy District Attorney Binu Palal told jurors at the start of Davis' Las Vegas trial. “Remarkably, you will learn that from Duane Davis himself.” Davis, 63, could get life in prison if he's convicted of murder with a deadly weapon with the intent to promote, further or assist a criminal gang. He has pleaded not guilty. His lawyer in the defense opening called the prosecution's narrative “fiction.” Palal showed jurors video of Shakur’s entourage attacking Davis’ nephew Orlando “Baby Lane” Anderson outside the boxing match at the MGM Grand hours before the shooting on Sept. 7, 1996.
