A Hamilton, Missouri man was sentenced Tuesday to life in prison for killing his father.

Robert Hobbs pleaded guilty in July to charges of second-degree murder and armed criminal action. George Hobbs, 71, was found shot to death in his rural Hamilton home in February of 2010.

The case was moved to Livingston County in a change of venue.

Circuit Judge Thoman N. Chapman ordered Hobbs to serve a life prison term on the murder charge, plus an additional five years for armed criminal action. Chapman ordered the terms be served consecutively.
