- Share via
SALT LAKE CITY — Three members of a polygamist clan were sentenced today to prison terms of up to 15 years for the slaying of a law officer during a shoot-out that ended a 13-day standoff at their farm last year.
The penalties will be served after they complete federal prison terms for taking part in the bombing of a nearby Mormon chapel. State District Judge Michael Murphy sentenced clan leader Addam Swapp and his brother-in-law, John Timothy Singer, to one to 15 years for manslaughter and Swapp’s brother, Jonathan, to a year in jail for negligent homicide.
