LOS ANGELES, April 12: "A 71-year-old retired actor was sentenced today
to 16 years to life in state prison on conviction of second-degree
murder for running over a man several times with his car after a
traffic dispute. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Steven Suzukawa
imposed the maximum sentence on Robert Weldon Cleaves, who will be
eligible for parole in 13 years. An Airport Branch Courthouse jury
convicted the Venice man last month of second-degree murder and the
allegation that he used a deadly weapon - his car - in the Sept. 30,
1998, killing of Arnold William Guerriero."
