Curtis Lavelle Vance Gets Life Without Parole for Anne Pressly Murder

An Arkansas jury sentenced Curtis Lavelle Vance to life in prison without parole for the murder of television anchor Anne Pressly. On Wednesday, the jury convicted Vance, 29, of capital murder, residential burglary, rape and theft of property.

Pressly, the morning news anchor for KATV, was found beaten in her home on October 20, 2008. She suffered “severe injuries” including several stab wounds. She died five days later.

DNA evidence linked Vance to the killing. He also confessed to Pressly’s murder.

“Tonight, they have come back with a sentence, a sentence that they believe, and we share with them, is the harshest possible sentence for this gentleman going forward, where he will now spend the rest of his natural life in a 6-by-9 cell with nothing to think about but what he has done,” said Guy Cannady, Pressly’s stepfather.

"There really aren't any winners tonight," Cannady added. "Nothing that's been done here will ever bring Anne back. We'll never see her smile, we'll never hear her laugh, we'll never know the joy of her presence with us until we see her again in heaven."
