WESTMORELAND — Dana Chandler received two life sentences on Tuesday with no parole eligibility for 25 years, in yet another drawn-out court proceeding.
Shawnee County judge Cheryl Rios ordered Chandler’s terms be served consecutively, meaning parole eligibility actually won’t come until Chandler serves 50 years. Her prior incarceration of about 10 years, resulting from her initial conviction of the crimes, will be credited to the new sentence.
