Former Oklahoma police officer sentenced to 25 years in murder of daughter’s boyfriend
Fox News
A former Oklahoma police officer convicted of killing his daughter's boyfriend after five trials was sentenced last week to 25 years in prison.
"Kepler, at the time, was sworn to uphold the law but instead made a series of decisions that led to the young man’s murder," U.S. Attorney Clint Johnson said in a Friday statement. "Today’s 25-year sentence provides a measure of justice to Mr. Lake’s family."
Lisa Kepler met Lake at a homeless shelter where she resided and where he volunteered. Her parents kicked her out of their house and put her in the shelter when she was caught sneaking out of the home. After seeing that his daughter had changed her relationship status on Facebook from single to "in a relationship," Kepler was "alarmed" by what he saw on Lake's Facebook page, federal prosecutors said.
