RICHMOND -- The foreman of the jury that sentenced Dan Leach II to 75 years in prison said deliberations were so emotional that almost every juror cried at some point.

"Ninety-five percent of us in there shed a tear; literally, it was that emotionally charged in the jury room," George Michalec, 50, said Monday.

Leach, 21, of Rosenberg, pleaded guilty last week to the murder of Ashley Nicole Wilson, 19. Leach staged the murder Jan. 15 to look like a suicide but confessed to police two months later. He told detectives he had been moved after seeing the movie The Passion of the Christ, which depicts the last hours of the life of Jesus.

The 10-man, two-woman jury took a little less than five hours to decide on a sentence Friday.
