WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. ? A New York serial killer who was convicted after he voluntarily gave up a DNA sample has been sentenced to 75 years to life in prison.
Francisco Acevedo was sentenced Tuesday. He was found guilty in November of killing three women in Yonkers between 1989 and 1996.
The 43-year-old Acevedo was not suspected in the murders until 2009, when he was in jail on a drunken driving charge and submitted an application for parole. One condition of the application was a DNA sample.
When his DNA hit the state database, investigators saw that it matched DNA found on all three women.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo (KWOH'-moh) has proposed expanding the state's DNA database to include profiles from more criminals, including drunken drivers.
