Former MLB Player Gets Life in Prison for Murdering His In-Laws

A former Major League Baseball pitcher who spent more than a decade playing for some of the sport's most storied franchises will spend the rest of his life behind bars — convicted of killing his wife's parents in a premeditated attack at their Lake Tahoe home.

Daniel Serafini, 51, was sentenced Friday to life in prison without the possibility of parole for the 2021 shooting of his father-in-law, Gary Spohr, and the attempted murder of his mother-in-law, Wendy Wood. Spohr died at the scene.
