Man Sentenced In Beating Death Of His Grandmother

A Columbus man who pleaded guilty in the death of his 90-year-old grandmother was sentenced Thursday to 17 years in prison. 41-year-old John Spindler beat his 60-year-old mother and threw his grandmother to the floor last June when she tried to intervene in a dispute at the family's home. The grandmother died days later. Spindler pleaded guilty last month.

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
