He won't go before a parole board for 25 years because of the guilty pleas for the other charges. He will be 49 before he is eligible.

@ToledoNewsNow Parole eligibility after 25 years is NOT justice for Elaina!

King says he tried to do CPR, but blood came out of her mouth, so he put his hand over her mouth and nose and suffocated her.

The thing that struck the court was that King could have gotten Elaina medical help, he made a "cold calculating" move to smother her.
