Man convicted in murder of actor in Harry Potter film gets life in prison
LONDON (AP) — A London man has been sentenced to life in prison for the murder of "Harry Potter" actor Rob Knox.
A British judge handed down the life sentence Thursday, one day after a jury convicted Karl Bishop of murdering 18-year-old Rob Knox.
Prosecutors say Bishop killed Knox outside a bar in east London in May after Knox stepped in to protect his brother, who had been threatened by the 22-year-old.
Knox had just wrapped up filming on "Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince." The movie is the sixth in the Harry Potter series and is due out this summer.
Knox played the part of Marcus Belby, a minor character.
