WCTV: Suspect pleads guilty in Dan Markel murder case

Luis Rivera has entered a plea deal in the murder of FSU law professor Dan Markel. 

He was sentenced to 19 years in prison, which will run concurrently with another sentence he is already serving in federal prison. 

Neighbor and close friend of Dan Markel, Reggie Garcia, shared his feelings about Rivera's plea deal and said, "Honestly, my first reaction was that seven years is awful low for the guy who rented the car, drove the car and provided the gun. But, I certainly trust our prosecutors that are clearly needing his help to convict more culpable co-defendants"
