2nd Man Sentenced to Life in Prison in Slaying

A second man has been sentenced to life in prison without possibility of parole in the slaying of a man abducted from his Philadelphia-area home and shot in the back as he tried to flee from the kidnappers' car.

The (Pottstown) Mercury reports that 33-year-old Charles Freeman was sentenced Tuesday in Montgomery County Court on his second-degree murder conviction.

Prosecutors said he was the driver in the May 2013 abduction and murder of 19-year-old Kareem Ali Borowy of West Pottsgrove.

Twenty-eight-year-old Omar Miller of Philadelphia, who authorities called the "muscle" in the scheme, was sentenced to life Monday.

Also facing a life term is 26-year-old Andre Collier, accused of having been the shooter and convicted of first-degree murder.

Twenty-one-year-old Rasheed Teel of Philadelphia pleaded guilty to third-degree murder.
