CHICAGO (AP) — A British man who admitted helping a former Northwestern professor fatally stab the professor's boyfriend was sentenced Wednesday to 45 years in prison under a plea bargain.
Sixty-one-year-old Andrew Warren pleaded guilty to first-degree murder after agreeing to testify against co-defendant Wyndham Lathem as part of his 2019 deal.
The Chicago Tribune reports Cook County prosecutors agreed to recommend a prison term of 45 years.
Warren testified last year that he was an active participant in the slaying of Trenton Cornell at Lathem's high rise residence in River North. He said he hit Cornell over the head with a lamp and stabbed him twice.
Lathem was sentenced last month to 53 years in prison.
