LAS VEGAS (AP) - Married professional bodybuilders Craig Titus and Kelly Ryan
have been sentenced to prison in the slaying of their live-in assistant in
December 2005.
The 43-year-old Titus was sentenced Friday to 21 to 55 years. He pleaded
guilty May 30 to second-degree murder, kidnapping and arson in the slaying of
28-year-old Melissa James.
Ryan was sentenced to 6 to 26 years in prison. She pleaded guilty to arson
and Nevada's equivalent of no contest to battery with a deadly
weapon.
James' charred body was found in December 2005 in the trunk of Ryan's
burned-out Jaguar sedan in the desert outside Las Vegas.
Nelson Brady Going To Jail:
LAS
VEGAS (AP) -- A Las Vegas man is going to prison for trying to hire a hit man
to kill witnesses in the slaying case involving former professional
bodybuilders Craig Titus and Kelly Ryan.
Clark
County District Court Judge Douglas Herndon sentenced 41-year-old Nelson Ronald
Brady Jr. on Tuesday to 8 to 25 years. A jury found Brady guilty Feb. 5 of
three counts of solicitation to commit murder.
Prosecutors
say Brady was an awe-struck fan who befriended Titus at the Clark County jail
and tried to hire a hit man to kill three key witnesses in Titus' murder case.
The
43-year-old Titus and 36-year-old Ryan are due for sentencing Friday after
pleading guilty to charges in the December 2005 slaying of their 28-year-old
personal assistant, Melissa James.
