DELTONA (CBSMiami/AP) — A central Florida man faces a mandatory life sentence after a jury convicted him of killing his girlfriend.
Thomas Anthony Prins, 43, collapsed when the verdict was read.
Prosecutors say Prins was boating with his girlfriend, 28-year-old Crystal Pifer, on the Halifax River in Port Orange last August when the two began to argue. Prins strangled Pifer and dumped her in the water, where her body was found the next day.
Prins was taken to a nearby hospital for observation after his collapse.
