Lexington Man Sentenced To Life In Prison

{Lexington, Kentucky}...Twenty-one year old Brian Crabtree of Lexington was sentenced Friday to life in prison without parole for the rape and death of a 2 year old girl. Crabtree pleaded guilty in September in the 2008 death of Katelynn Stinnett, who was left in his care while the child's father was at work. Stinnett and the children's mother, Angela Coleman, were estranged at the time. A Lexington police sergeant testified at a hearing that Crabtree, after giving Katelynn a bath, dropped the girl, and her head struck the floor. The officer testified that Crabtree then raped her. Prosecutor Ray Larson says he did not seek the death penalty because Crabtree has a low IQ.
