MANCHESTER, Iowa — The northeast Iowa teen who pleaded guilty to killing his grandparents in October has been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Defense attorneys for Isaiah Sweet, now 19, argued he should not spend the rest of his life in prison for murdering his grandparents.
But during today's sentencing, the judge said that he considered the "cold-blooded" nature and planning of the crime, and he did not think Sweet could be rehabilitated.

The judge also added "the defendant may be young but that has not stopped him from showing the world who he is. He is extremely dangerous."
