Former Major League Baseball pitcher Daniel Serafini was sentenced to life in prison without parole Friday for the brutal 2021 shooting of his in-laws at their Lake Tahoe, California, home.
The 52-year-old former pitcher, who played for six major league teams over a 22-year career, was convicted in July of first-degree murder in the killing of his father-in-law, Gary Spohr, 70, the attempted murder of his mother-in-law, Wendy Wood, 68, and first-degree burglary. He was arrested in 2023 alongside his nanny turned mistress, Samantha Scott, who later pleaded guilty to an accessory charge in February 2025.
