Sixty-year-old man was already sentenced for making child pornography.

PONTIAC, MICHIGAN (AP) -- Roger Sweet of Wayne County's Brownstone Township was sentenced Tuesday to 15 to 30 years in prison for the 1990 murder of his wife, Marlene Sweet.

The 60-year-old man was sentenced in an unrelated federal case earlier this month to 21 years and 10 months in prison.  Prosecutors say he produced pornography using a 16-year-old mentally disabled girl.

Sweet was also sentenced in Wayne County court to 10 to 17 years on related sex assault charges.  Sweet will serve concurrent sentences in federal prison.
