An American man has been convicted of murder and other charges for brutally attacking two American women near Germany's famous Neuschwanstein castle last summer. The 31-year-old man was sentenced to life in prison for the rape and murder of one tourist and the attempted murder of her friend. The judge determined that the man's crime is particularly severe, meaning he likely won't be eligible for release after 15 years.
