Man gets 14 years for attack on ex-brother-in-law

A District man was sentenced to 14 years in prison for conspiring to kidnap his former brother-in-law, stabbing him multiple times and leaving him for dead.

A D.C. jury convicted Demecio Lopez, 34, on kidnapping and other charges in the brutal attack on his sister’s former husband in October. The same jury also convicted Lopez’s wife, Angele Guevara, of threatening to injure or kidnap. She was sentenced to 20 months behind bars in January.
