Edward Ates, better known as the Florida man who claimed he was too obese to kill his former son-in-law in Ramsey, was sentenced Thursday to life plus five years in prison... Ates must serve nearly 68 years in prison before he can see a parole board.

Paul Duncsak, a 40-year-old pharmaceutical expert, was talking on his cell phone with his fiancée, Lori Adamo, as he returned from work on Aug. 23, 2006, and entered his West Crescent Avenue home.

Adamo testified during the trial that she heard Duncsak scream, followed by a thud as if someone fell to the floor. Duncsak was later found dead with multiple gunshot wounds.
