ROCKVILLE, Md. A Takoma Park man was sentenced to life in prison for beating his estranged girlfriend with an 18-pound crucifix, state prosecutors said.
Carlos Ovalle, 33, was sentenced Tuesday. He had been convicted in July on numerous charges, including first-degree attempted murder.
Police say on Dec. 21, Ovalle broke into his estranged girlfriend's home in Takoma Park, jumped out of a closet when she came home, and tried to stab and strangle her. Ovalle hit the woman at least 20 times with the crucifix.
