LOUISVILLE — A former Kentucky National Guard soldier facing a resentencing in a death penalty case for slaying his former in-laws and wounding his ex-wife has reached a deal to avoid a possible execution.
Under the terms of a deal reached Monday, 41-year-old Miguel Angel “Mickey” Soto will serve life in prison without parole for killing 65-year-old Armott Porter and his wife, 58-year-old Edna Porter of Crestwood, on June 29, 1999. The deal doesn’t affect Soto’s 50-year sentence for attempted murder in the wounding of his ex-wife, Armotta Porter, and firing a shot in the direction of his then-3-year-old daughter, Brianna Porter.
Prosecutors said Soto used a .38 to kill Armott Porter and carried a .45 semiautomatic pistol during the attack.
