(AP) An Indiana money manager who pleaded
guilty in June to intentionally crashing his plane to fake his
death and flee financial ruin has been sentenced to four years and
three months in federal prison.
Judge Roger Vinson sentenced Marcus Schrenker on Wednesday after
a lengthy and rambling speech by the amateur daredevil pilot who
sobbed and asked forgiveness from his family, air traffic
controllers and Panhandle residents.
Schrenker's single-engine Piper Malibu landed behind a Milton
neighborhood on Jan. 11 after he bailed out over Alabama and left
the plane to drift on autopilot. He had planned for it land in the
Gulf of Mexico, but it ran out of fuel.
