Luke Wright Sentenced To 40 Years To Life

BUFFALO, NY - Luke Wright, who was convicted last month of raping and torturing his mentally disabled sister, Laura Cummings, was sentenced to 40 years to life in prison on Tuesday in Erie County Court.

Wright did not speak before the Judge Michael D'Amico handed down the sentence.

Laura Cummings, 23, was found dead in her family's North Collins home in January 2010. Prosecutors say she had been beaten, tortured, sexually assaulted, and scalded at the hands of Wright and their mother, Eva Cummings.

The District Attorney's office was seeking the same sentence for Wright that had been given to his mother, Eva Cummings, 52 years to life.
