MINNEAPOLIS -- Two more people involved in the killing of former Villanova basketball star Howard Porter were sentenced on Monday.
Fredquinzo King was sentenced to 45 years Monday in district court in Minneapolis. He had pleaded guilty earlier. Tonya Washington, who pleaded guilty in February to aggravated robbery, was sentenced to 10 years.
Porter, a 58-year-old probation officer, was beaten to death in May 2007.
Porter led Villanova to the 1971 NCAA championship game and was chosen the tournament's outstanding player. He went on to play seven pro seasons but his career was cut short by injuries and cocaine addiction. He often spoke publicly about his rise and fall before righting himself again to become a probation officer.
His wife, Theresa Neal, said in court that her husband wouldn't have wanted "an eye for an eye" for his killers. Neal said if Howard Porter had lived, he would have been the first man to help the killers if they left prison.
