A Levittown man was sentenced Tuesday to life in prison without parole for the murder of a Long Island grandmother exactly five years ago. As GusoffTV reports, the convicted killer has claimed for years he is mentally ill, yet has refused treatment.

As CBS2's Carolyn Gusoff reported, the convicted killer has claimed for years he is mentally ill, yet has refused treatment.

Back in 2017, CBS2 first reported Lopez was accused of breaking into the Levittown home with a machete and killing the beloved grandmother and attacking her grandson.Police said it all happened due to a petty dispute over marijuana deals. "We have been through delays. We have been through unnecessary outbursts. Everything that could add to the torture we've already been going through," Dorsa said.

"It was obvious from all the witnesses who were there he knew exactly what was going on. He knew that what he had done was wrong," Donnelly said.
