The sentence for Lawrence Crawley, 36, was imposed Monday in court. He was initially convicted of first-degree murder and other related offenses in January 2020 after he abruptly showed up at the Whitemarsh workplace of Angela Maya Stith, 33 in August 2018, The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Crawley reportedly smashed the window of Stith's car at the office parking lot, caught her as she fled, stabbed her more than 10 times with a knife, and then ran her over with his SUV, NBC says.

Crawley then fled toward Pittsburgh but was arrested by State Police troopers on the Pennsylvania Turnpike after an alleged suicide attempt by setting himself on fire, the news outlet reports.

District Attorney Kevin Steele, who prosecuted the case, asked Montgomery County Court Judge Thomas Branca to impose the maximum penalty for Crawley, saying he had planned the attack, despite Crawley asserting the incident was not premeditated, The Inquirer says.
