Levi Aron, the Brooklyn store clerk who pleaded guilty to killing 8-year-old Leiby Kletzky, was sentenced to 40 years to life in prison.
Aron, 37, was sentenced Wednesday in Brooklyn Supreme Court. He did not address the court.
He pleaded guilty earlier this month to kidnapping, killing and dismembering Leiby near his home in the Borough Park section of Brooklyn in July 2011. Aron's attorney at first had attempted to pursue an insanity defense; Aron reportedly has a history of mental illness.
