A Columbia man charged with shooting a man to death in Pittsburgh in 2022 will spend up to 35 years in prison for his role in a 2023 Columbia carjacking.
Lancaster County Judge Jeffery Wright sentenced Sammie Edward Lane Jr. to 15 to 35 years in state prison Wednesday in the carjacking case.
During Wednesday's hearing, Assistant District Attorney Chris Miller argued that Lane, 37, who has 10 previous criminal convictions, keeps escalating his offenses. He has convictions on charges of burglary, drug possession, and escape going back to 2006 across five counties.
"His history shows you exactly what he's going to do again, this crime or worse," Miller said. "How long are you going to put him away so he just can't do this again?"
Lane was convicted June 13 of robbery, simple assault and related charges in the carjacking case. Lane, Destiny Delgado-Diaz, and Alexander Ethan Delgado-Diaz, lured a man to Columbia on Dec. 31, 2023, strangled him, threatened him with a handgun and stole his Dodge Durango SUV and items he had in the vehicle.
