[LOCAL10|MUGSHOT] An ex-convict who led police on a chase around Las Vegas before officers found the severed head and dismembered body’ of his friend in a stolen vehicle he was driving was sentenced Thursday to at least 18 years in prison.
Eric John Holland said he was “truly remorseful” for killing Richard P. Miller, whose remains were found in coolers in the bed of a Chevrolet Avalanche in which Las Vegas police stopped Holland last December. Authorities found that Miller had been shot several times, including at least once in the head, before his body was carved up.
“It’s a terrible thing that happened and I’m just so sorry,” Holland said.
That provided little comfort to Miller’s daughter, who tearfully and haltingly told a judge she felt “very little relief,” that Holland pleaded guilty in July to a reduced charge and avoiding trial on an open murder charge that could have resulted in a life sentence behind bars. [FULLSTORY]
