CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A man will spend the rest of his life in prison after he was found guilty in what prosecutors said was a case of scaring a 79-year-old North Carolina woman to death.

Multiple media outlets report a federal jury found Larry Whitfield not guilty of murder Friday in the death of Mary Parnell last year. But they did find him guilty of causing her death by kidnapping her, and that carries an automatic life sentence.

Whitfield, 21, was looking for somewhere to hide after a failed bank robbery attempt in Gastonia in September 2008 when he broke into Parnell's home, prosecutors said.

Whitfield never touched the grandmother, ordering her to go sit in a chair in her bedroom. She suffered a heart attack and begged Whitfield to call for help, authorities said.

Prosecutors said Whitfield was on the phone with his nursing student girlfriend when Parnell stopped breathing. She told him to call 911, but he didn't, authorities said.

ITALIAN dictator Benito Mussolini's blood and brain went on sale for €15,000 ($24,343) on online auction website eBay before the company pulled the ad posted by an anonymous seller. "No bid was made during the brief time the advert was visible," eBay said on its website, explaining the removal on the grounds that the company did not authorise sales of human matter.

For most of his years, Richie Kane struggled through a living hell of physical and sexual abuse, alcoholism and membership in one of the most notorious gangs in the country.

But now this former Hells Angel is empowered with a new force. Kane has chronicled his journey to a better life in a self-published book called "The Bronx Street Kid: Into 12-Step Recovery." He sees it as a way for him to pass on the hope he has now embraced.

"God has been so kind to me," he says, "allowed me the strength to come back."

Now the New York native describes his vision of heaven, where God "rides a Harley" and there is "no hatred, no violence, there are no beatings, and you ride your motorcycle in the clouds. You don't need gas!"
