CALDWELL, Ohio —
A man who once said he had a compulsion to kill pleaded guilty Monday to murdering five outdoorsmen and was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 165 years.
Thomas Lee Dillon, 43, entered his plea as part of a deal in which he avoided the death penalty. He admitted shooting the men while they hunted, fished or jogged in rural Ohio between April, 1989, and April, 1992.
