A man in Texas who beat his girlfriend's brother to death in front of her — while on FaceTime with his own mother and son — has learned his fate.

Robert Carrasco, 40, was sentenced this week to 45 years in prison for murdering 38-year-old Jason Banda, according to the Bexar County District Attorney's Office, which told Law&Crime the sentencing came after he accepted a plea deal.
