After five long years, the Center City rapist case came to a close last Thursday when Air Force airman Troy Graves pleaded guilty to six counts of rape and the 1998 murder of Wharton doctoral student Shannon Schieber. After Graves apologized to his victims in a packed courtroom, Common Pleas Court Judge Benjamin Lerner sentenced him to life in prison without parole for the murder, plus 60 to 120 years for the sexual assaults. "To the city of Philadelphia and the victims and the families and friends of the victims, I'm sorry" Graves, 30, said. "My deepest sympathy to the Schieber family for their loss, and I thank them for how they've been throughout this." The Philadelphia sentence follows the life sentence that Graves received in Fort Collins, Colo., on May 17 for the attacks of seven women there over the past year. A guilty plea agreement, signed by Graves, Philadelphia Assistant District Attorney Arlene Fisk and Assistant Defender Dan Stevenson on May 21, was also released at the time of the sentencing.
