Donald Blom has received the maximum possible sentence in Minnesota - life in prison without parole - for kidnapping and murdering Katie Poirier. Today's sentencing hearing in Carlton was another dramatic episode in a case that has left many people feeling relieved but still angry. Minnesota Public Radio's Stephanie Hemphill reports. { The Poirier family asked that sentencing take place on Monday so they could have more time to prepare their victim impact statements. But in court, both of Katie's parents and her brother talked about how her murder has affected their lives. Steve Poirer, Katie's father, said to Donald Blom, "I don't know what God has coming for you but hopefully he'll allow Katie to put some boards on your fire."
