Bruce faces long prison term after violent felony murder ruling
Assistant District Attorney Michael Sanchez says Bruce must serve 85 percent of his sentence on the second degree murder charge, with about 50 percent on other charges. He may qualify for enhanced time as a habitual offender for convictions within 10 years, though older convictions may not count. Bruce has prior felonies dating to the early 1980s including kidnapping burglary and DUI in Potter County. He was sentenced to 25 years on the latest burglary, parole not available until March 16.
