Judge labels Leonard a cold blooded murderer in 30 to 60 year sentence

Circuit Court Judge James E. Strunck called Richard Leonard a cold blooded murderer as he sentenced the 39 year old man to 30 to 60 years in prison for the fatal 1976 shooting of Wayne Twes, a 42 year old security guard at a Gold Coast highrise. The judge imposed the punishment after Leonard pled guilty to the murder. The case stemmed from an armed confrontation at the building. The ruling follows a lengthy legal process and underscores the severity of the crime in a densely populated area.
