20 years for pleas in slay & murder try
HORSING AROUND could make you rich.
The Belmont Stakes $150,000 Sweepstakes, launched Wednesday by the New York Racing Association, offers a shot to gallop away with all that dough — and more.
Better yet, you don’t even have to place a bet on June 9 race. Just before the 150th Belmont Stakes in Elmont, L.I., the sweepstakes grand prize winner — expected to be named in late May — will reveal his or her choice to win the third leg of the Triple Crown.
If that horse wins, the fan will take home $150,000.Fans can enter for free at belmontstakes.com/150sweep THE BROOKLYN man who stabbed his lover to death while out on bail for shooting a man was sentenced Wednesday to 20 years in prison.
Daniel Romain, 35, pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter on March 12 in the knifing of his 46-year-old mistress Tisa Kelly at his E. 96th home on Nov. 24, 2015.
Romain also pleaded guilty to attempted murder for shooting Jamel Bloomfield of East New York — just seven months before Kelly’s slaying — because he wouldn’t let Romain into his house party.
He faced 50 years to life had he taken the separate cases to trial.
Kelly, who moved from Kissimmee, Fla., to be with Romain in New York, is survived by her adult son and daughter — a Marine and a nursing student, respectively — and two grandsons.
“My kids can’t laugh or cry with their mother,” Kelly’s husband said during his victim-impact statement. “Tisa can’t go to graduations or see flowers blossom.”
