A judge sentenced two women to 10 years in prison Tuesday for their roles in the 2006 murder of a carnival worker in a North Charleston motel.
Judge Roger Young handed down sentences for Sandra Barnes, 40, of Summerville and Alana Niesen, 41, of North Charleston after each pled guilty to charges that included armed robbery and criminal conspiracy.
The charges stemmed from the shooting death of Robert Vargo, a carnival worker, during a robbery.
Prosecutors said the women and two men attacked Vargo at the Budget Inn on Fain Street, where he was staying while he worked at the Coastal Carolina Fair.
The two men are already in prison for their roles in the murder.
