The man who shot and wounded singer-songwriter Marc Cohn during a botched carjacking last year in Denver gets 36 years in prison.
Joseph Yacteen, 27, pleaded guilty in July to attempted first-degree murder. He was accused of firing a gun into a van carrying Cohn's band in a Denver parking garage in August 2005.
The bullet grazed driver-tour manager Thomas Dube before it lodged in Cohn's temple. Both were treated and released from a hospital the next day.
Cohn, who is married to ABC News anchor Elizabeth Vargas, had a hit with "Walking in Memphis" and won a Grammy in 1991. Neither was in the courtroom during the sentencing Monday.
