(KNZA)--Life in prison.
That was the sentenced handed down Monday in a Shawnee County courtroom to a Jefferson County man convicted on charges in connection with a deadly crash during a police pursuit nearly one year ago.
The Topeka Capital Journal reports 63-year-old Sherman Jenkins will not be eligible to be considered for parole until he has served at least 25 years in prison.
A jury last month convicted Jones on a charge of felony first-degree murder along with seven other counts stemming from the death of 34-year-old Topeka resident Mia Holden.
Authorities say Holden, the mother of six children, was killed when the stolen pickup truck Jenkins was driving hit a vehicle she was riding in as Jenkins was fleeing from police early February 4th in north Topeka.
The police chase began when officers tried to stop the truck because its tail lights weren't working.
