After a grueling ten-week trial, the second person convicted in Tori Stafford’s murder will be sentenced tomorrow.

On Friday, Michael Rafferty was found guilty of first-degree murder, sexual assault causing bodily harm, and kidnapping. And while a life sentence is automatic, the 31-year old’s sentencing hearing will provide another level of closure for the Stafford family, as they will face Tori’s killer and tell him how Tori’s murder has impacted their lives. Cristina Tenaglia has the story.
