KITTANNING — A jail inmate who killed a woman so he could steal her boyfriend’s truck after escaping is set for sentencing.

Robert Crissman Jr., 39, faces a mandatory life sentence today in Armstrong County. He was convicted last month of first- and second-degree murder in the death of 55-year-old Tammy Long. Both murder charges carry a mandatory life sentence without parole.

Crissman was jailed for violating his parole on a previous drug conviction when he escaped from the county jail on July 30 while working as an inmate trustee.
