A Syracuse man who pleaded guilty to murdering his 11-year-old son and his girlfriend will spend 40 years to life in prison, after a sentencing hearing where a judge said even life behind bars was not enough for what he had done.

Connor Wight reported on the police search that led to Huff’s arrest after the killings, while Rachel Culver later reported from court as grieving family members filled the gallery and Judge Theodore Limpert handed down the sentence.
