California Woman Gets Life For Murder Of Millionaire Lover

A Southern California woman has been sentenced to life in prison without parole in the shooting death of her millionaire live-in boyfriend.

Nanette Ann Packard was sentenced Friday in Orange County Superior Court for the 1994 murder of William Francis McLaughlin.

Prosecutors said Packard was at the center of a love triangle and convinced her other lover, former NFL linebacker Eric Naposki, to kill McLaughlin.

Prosecutors said Packard had a $1 million life insurance policy on McLaughlin and also stood to receive $150,000 if he died.

McLaughlin was shot nine times in the torso with a 9 mm handgun.

Naposki was convicted of first-degree murder last July.

  Isn't the right to vote in the constitution? And people in jail aren't allowed to vote. At least that's my weak understanding of it. Please let me know if I have it wrong.
