Life sentence for British drug dealer who killed 9-year-old girl, family reacts to 42-year sentencing.

A British drug dealer, Thomas Cashman, has been sentenced to life in prison for the murder of a 9-year-old girl, Olivia Pratt-Korbel, during an attempted shooting of a rival drug dealer in Liverpool. Cashman refused to attend the hearing, where he was convicted of murder, attempted murder, and wounding. The judge described the shooting as a "planned execution" and Cashman showed no regard for who might be struck by gunfire. Cashman must serve a minimum of 42 years before being eligible for parole. The girl's family, who were wearing pink, her favorite color, were unable to address Cashman in person due to his absence.
