By Staff | Dec 2, 2008

NEW PORT RICHEY (AP) – A Pasco County man has been sentenced to death for killing a 16-year-old girl he picked up hitchhiking more than six years ago.

Phillup Partin was sentenced Monday for the July 31, 2002, slaying of Joshan (YO-shan) Ashbrook.

A jury found the 43-year-old Partin guilty in March and recommended by a 9-3 vote that he be executed.
