Indiana Man Gets 100 Years in 2011 Double-Killing

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) _ An Indianapolis man who pleaded guilty to murder for his involvement in the shooting deaths of a man and his 7-year-old niece has been sentenced to 100 years in prison.
 
  Twenty-four-year-old Michael Bell was sentenced Friday in Marion County Court in the December 2011 slayings of Kyleigh Crane and her 21-year-old uncle, Jeremy Crane. They were found shot to death in a home on Indianapolis' far east side.
 
  Bell agreed to plead guilty to two counts of murder in exchange for a 50-year sentence on each count.
 
  Twenty-six-year-old Jeremy Priel was sentenced to 110 years in July.
 
  The victims' family considered Bell a close friend and Kyleigh called him “Uncle Mike.'' The victims were slain during a robbery that authorities say netted the men about $40.
