Welch given nine life terms for Halberstam murder
Bernard C. Welch, convicted last month of murdering noted author and cardiologist Michael Halberstam, received nine consecutive life prison terms in District of Columbia Superior Court. Assistant U.S. Attorney Alexia Morrison urged the maximum sentence, which Judge H. Carl Moultrie III imposed, calling Welch not a candidate for rehabilitation and a greedy marauder. The judge cited Welch's nature and past history as warranting extended incarceration for public safety.
