PORTLAND, Ore. - Two men convicted in the drive-by shooting death of Asia Bell were sentenced to life in prison on Thursday.

The Nov. 20, 2002, shooting happened as Bell's four children were inside their house watching a movie. One of them came outside to find their 24-year-old mother dead on the porch.

Bell's husband, Tyrone James, was blinded in the attack. Robert Milhouse, a friend who had dropped by, was also wounded.

Klein and Hail proclaimed their innocence and indicated they would appeal.
