Marcus Sanfratello, 72, stands between his attorneys as he pleads guilty to first-degree manslaughter for the death of Teresa Peroni near Selma in 1983. He was subsequently sentenced to 20 years in prison, with the opportunity for parole only after 10 years. Advances in DNA led to his arrest in the cold case homicide last year.

Grants Pass freshman Marly Hill led the Cavers to a fifth-place finish at the Class 6A-5A State Preview girls’ golf tournament at the OGA Course on Tuesday in Woodburn.
Hill shot an 86 to lead the way, while freshman Kinsey Ott and sophomore Violet Boersma both carded a 90 for Grants Pass.
“I feel like all the girls made good on-course decisions today,” said Cavers coach Donnie Thomason. “The course was playing long, but we still shot really good scores.”
