Want to stop these crimes? Stop giving abusers any custodial/visitation rights. Give moms sole custody and move-away rights. No access to the victim, no crime.

The killer dad is LARRY LYNN MITCHELL.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — A judge has denied mercy to a man who pleaded guilty to killing his son's estranged wife at a Morgantown store parking lot over a child-custody dispute.

Monongalia County Circuit Judge Phil Gaujot made the ruling Friday, meaning 54-year-old Larry Lynn Mitchell of Shinnston will spend the rest of his life in prison.

WDTV-TV (http://bit.ly/UKQnmV) reports Mitchell pleaded guilty to first-degree murder earlier Friday in the April 21 shooting of 29-year-old Shannon Stafford.

 Stafford was at the Wal-mart parking lot to meet Mitchell's son and pick up their 2-year-old daughter, Faith, for a weekend visit.
