ANGLETON — Tears fell from the eyes of Bobby Wayne Dollarhide’s daughter as she told Joshua Lane of the pain he caused her family by killing her father.

“The death of my father has changed my life,” Mary Dollarhide, 15, said as she struggled with emotion Thursday during Lane’s sentencing hearing. “I will not have a father-daughter dance at my wedding. My dad has been taken from me. Your mother will visit you and say she loves you. My grandmother will never look into her son’s eyes again.”

A jury of six men and six women Thursday returned a sentence of life in prison for Lane, a day after convicting him of murder and two counts of robbery for the Aug. 18 slaying of Dollarhide, 41, and the shooting of another man.

Lane, of Houston, was accused of entering an Alvin hotel and robbing two men of several hundred dollars, then shooting Dollarhide in the abdomen and a second man in the leg.
