A man from Salem has been sentenced to decades in state prison for murdering a woman in Camden in the summer of 2010. Camden County Prosecutor Grace MacAulay's office says back in February, a jury convicted 54-year-old Timothy Simon of first-degree murder in the death of 31-year-old Lawanda Strickland. On Friday, Simon was sentenced to 60 years in New Jersey State Prison. Under the No Early Release Act, he will be required to serve 85% of his term, or about 49 years, before being eligible for parole.
