An innocent man went to prison for murder, but now, it’s the real killer’s turn...
Eighteen-year-old Angie Dodge was raped and killed in her Idaho home a quarter-century ago and an innocent man wrongly served 20 years in prison for the crime. On Tuesday, the man authorities have said is the real killer was sentenced to life in prison.
Brian Leigh Dripps Sr., 55, must serve at least 20 years in prison before he will be eligible for parole, 7th District Judge Joel Tingey said. Dripps’ defense attorneys say his medical problems — including a history of heart issues and an autoimmune disease — makes it unlikely that he will live long enough to get parole. “Twenty-five years is a long time to wait for some type of closure on such a brutal crime,” Tingey said. “ … It’s impossible to quantify how much damage has been caused, and it’s spread wide.”
