The man who pleaded guilty to murdering a Utah woman in 2010 will be sentenced Wednesday.
Adam Durborow pleaded guilty last October to aggravated murder in the death of Sherry Black.
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, prosecutors argued that Durborow should receive a sentence of life without the possibility of parole as they said the attack was unprovoked.
