Posted Nov 21, 2008
An Orange County judge on Friday lopped several years off the prison sentence he handed down this week against a Durham man who was convicted of tying up and robbing three UNC football players last year. Michael Troy Lewis, 33, was convicted Tuesday of two counts each of felony conspiracy and first-degree kidnapping and one count each of common law robbery and assault on a government official. He was acquitted of a second count of assault on a government official. (WRAL.com)
