CUSHING MAN SENTENCED TO LIFE

The rural Cushing man who admitted shooting his parents in January has been sentenced to life in prison. 28-year old Erik John Wojciechowski pleaded guilty in November to shooting Roger and Jeanne Wojciechowski in their rural Cushing home. The sentences are to be served concurrently and he'll be eligible for parol in 30 years. Wojcieschowski was also sentenced to 42 months for felony first degree DWI. He could appeal the sentences. Morrison County Attorney Brian Middendorf told the Brainerd Dispatch that appeals are rare in these cases because of the plea agreement.
