FLINT, Mich. — Three teenagers were sentenced to life in prison for the beating death of a homeless man who had cheated them out of less than $1 after buying them beer.
Mark A. Gonzalez, 16, Ryan A. Kendrick, 17, and Michael D. Worden, 16, were convicted of murdering 34-year-old Mark Harris in 1999 with boards, sticks and bricks. Harris lived in a debris-filled trailer behind a doughnut shop.
A fourth teenager pleaded guilty to murder and is awaiting sentencing.
