A man has been sentenced to 11¾ years in prison for the 2008 murder of his girlfriend, a death first thought to be a suicide.
John Michael King, 51, was sentenced Monday in Hennepin County District Court after pleading guilty to unintentional second-degree murder in the death of Pam Silver, 51.
The body of Silver, who went by Pam Sjogren before a divorce, was found in October 2008 hanging from a rope in the garage of her Minneapolis duplex.
In January, King called police from Texas to confess to Silver's death, saying he wanted her children to know she didn't kill herself.
King told police that Silver tried to poke him in the eye and that he choked her, but didn't mean to kill her, according to the criminal complaint.
