State College cocaine dealer sentenced in hit man case - Local | Centre Daily Times - State College, PA: "Michael Alexander be able to serve his 10-to 20-year prison sentence at the same time as the nine-to 18-year sentence he’s already serving on drug dealing charges.
“It doesn’t take away from his claim of innocence,” his attorney, Tami Fees, said.
But because it essentially adds only one year to the time he’ll need to serve before coming up before the parole board, she said, “we are pleased with the deal that we received.”
District Attorney Stacy Parks Miller said Alexander, like any other inmate, will still have to earn that parole and likely won’t get out in just one decade.
“I believe it’s highly likely that he’ll do more than his 10-year minimum before being paroled,” she said. “The original case is a very serious drug case and this is clearly a violent crime, which it appears he has yet to accept responsibly for, and that will absolutely affect the timing of his parole.”
Police say that after Alexander was jailed in March 2008 on the cocaine charges, he became depressed at the prospect of serving several years in prison and elicited the help of a local boxer — one of his few friends on the outside."
