John "Phil" Street, 45, got life without parole Thursday for the 1998 murder of Douglas C. Weil, an Independence man who was "brutally beaten, stabbed multiple times, shot in the back of the head and in the back, then stuffed in the trunk of a car," U.S. Attorney John Wood's office reports.
Street was already in prison when he bragged about engineering Weil's death -- which apparently got the case started again.
