Man who killed girlfriend with hammer gets 26 years to life in prison

A San Pedro man with a history of abusing women was sentenced this week to 26 years to life in prison for killing his girlfriend with a hammer, according to the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office.

Donald Lee Bush Jr., 55, was found guilty on Jan. 14 of first-degree murder, including the allegation that he used a hammer to kill Dana Milo, 59.

He was sentenced Monday, according to the district attorney's office.

During the trial, witnesses testified that Bush had a history of abusing women. A jury deliberated for a little more than three hours.
