Man pleads guilty to killing 3 whose homes set on fire

PHOENIX (AP) - A man pleaded guilty to three counts of murder in the deaths seven years ago of a cigar salesman in Phoenix and a couple from an upscale suburb in two burglaries that ended with the victims being killed and their homes set on fire. The plea agreement Monday by 38-year-old Michael Lee Crane of Mesa calls for him to serve three consecutive life sentences in the January 2012 killings of Bruce Gaudet and Lawrence and Glenna Shapiro.
