A Junction City man will spend the rest of his life in prison for his role in a Christmas Day 2018 murder of a pregnant woman.
Dion Jamal Green was sentenced Wednesday in federal court to two life terms in prison without the possibility of parole for 50 years. The sentence was carried out by District Judge Steven L. Hornbaker.
Green pleaded guilty to the charges in June in connection with the December 2018 deaths of Jenna Schafer, of Junction City, and her unborn child.
The case was investigated by the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, Geary County Sheriff’s Office and the Junction City Police Department.
Deputy Attorney General Vic Braden and Assistant Solicitor General Michael R. Serra of Schmidt’s office and Assistant Geary County Attorney Jason B. Oxford prosecuted the case.
