A PORT ALLEGANY MAN WILL SPEND THE REST OF HIS LIFE BEHIND BARS ON MURDER CHARGES.  BRIAN KUCHINKA WAS SENTENCED YESTERDAY IN COURT AFTER HE WAS CONVICTED OF FIRST-DEGREE MURDER BACK IN AUGUST IN MCKEAN COUNTY COURT.  KUCHINKA ADMITTED TO CAUSING THE DEATH OF K-LEIGH HILL-NELSON IN FEBRUARY OF 2025, BUT DENIED THAT HIS ACTIONS WERE INTENTIONAL.  THE JUDGE RULED AGAINST HIS CLAIM.
