{West Virginia}...In a Kanawha County courtroom Friday morning, Judge Duke Bloom sentenced two teens to spend up to 75 years in prison on the robbery charges. Bloom also sentenced the teens on consecutive, unrelated burglary and breaking and entering charges that could force them to spend their lives in prison. Police say 19 year old Shane Peck and and Joseph Gibson, 18, punched, kicked, and bound 79 year old Geraldine Gibson with mining tape in her Big Chimney home last March and beat and robbed her. Geraldine Gibson, who is of no relation to her assailant, died earlier this month, but medical examiners could not definitively link her death to the injuries she sustained during the brutal home-invasion. Neither Peck nor Gibson will be eligible for parole for about 30 years.
