PITTSBURGH (AP) — A man has been sentenced to 119 to 238 years in prison for the ambush slaying of a pizza delivery driver in a crime-ridden Pittsburgh suburb in 2007.
Allegheny County Judge David Cashman imposed the sentence Tuesday on 22-year-old William Mitchell, of Wilkinsburg.
Prosecutors say Mitchell and another man, Lance Dempster, called for a pizza to be delivered to an abandoned house where they shot and robbed the delivery driver, 48-year-old Boston Smithwick, of Duquesne, on April 19, 2007.

Dempster took a plea bargain this summer and was sentenced to 10 to 25 years in prison.
Mitchell contested the charges and was convicted in May on charges of second-degree murder, robbery and conspiracy.
