Man sentenced to life in prison without parole for murder of Utah woman in her South Salt Lake bookstore in 2010
SOUTH SALT LAKE — The man who pleaded guilty to murdering a Utah woman in 2010 was sentenced Wednesday to life in prison without parole.Black was found beaten and stabbed to death on Nov. 30, 2010 in her family-owned bookstore in South Salt Lake. As the case went cold for years, Black's family offered rewards of up to $250,000 for tips and started a foundation to help keep attention on the case.
In October 2020, investigators matched the DNA evidence left behind at the crime scene to Durborow, who was 19 years old at the time of the murder. During Wednesday's sentencing hearing, members of Black's family spoke about her and how life has been since her murder. The husband of Black's granddaughter said Sherry was"part of their love story" and that the family was better with her.
Prosecutors argued that Durborow should receive a sentence of life without the possibility of parole as they said the attack was unprovoked.
