PLYMOUTH, Mass. (AP) - The last of three men convicted of killing a retired stockbroker in his Massachusetts home during a botched robbery has been sentenced to life in prison without parole.
Michael Moscaritolo, of Quincy, was found guilty Wednesday of first-degree murder in the 2015 death of Robert McKenna.
Judge C.J. Moriarty gave Moscaritolo the same sentence as his two co-conspirators Mark O’Brien and James Ferguson. Moriarty called Moscaritolo “the mastermind” of the crime.
Authorities have said the three men broke into the Marshfield home to steal McKenna’s collection of guns, African art and homegrown marijuana.
McKenna was beaten on the head with a frying pan and pushed through a window, severing an artery in his arm. He bled to death as he tried to activate his home alarm, prosecutors said.
