Teen to be sentenced for murder

Published November 29, 2010 5:00am ET



Nineteen-year-old Emily Geller is set to be sentenced Monday for a 2009 Montgomery County murder in which a car salesman was robbed and hit over the head with a shovel. Geller and her co-conspirator Artie Ellis, 16, pleaded guilty in the case, part of an agreement that capped their maximum sentence to 25 years.

In May 2009, Geller and Ellis conspired to rob the victim, 57-year-old car salesman Ali Zare, along a path in Potomac. Geller lured him with the promise of sex and Ellis hit him with the shovel, prosecutors said. Zare fell to the ground and struck his head on the pavement, prosecutors said.
