GRAND RAPIDS (WOOD-AM) - Garry Artman has been handed a life-without-parole prison sentence for the rape and murder of 29-year-old Sharon Hammack in 1996.
Artman was convicted by a jury last month.
Testimony at his trial revealed the long-haul trucker's DNA was found inside Hammack, under her fingernails and on the blanket wrapped around her body.
"You’re a monster," Tina DeYoung, Hammick's sister, told Artman in court. "I hope you rot in hell."
Artman will be transported to Maryland to stand trial for the murder of a Maryland woman.
