Baltimore man gets 25 years in roommate's scalding
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A judge has sentenced a Baltimore man to 25 years in prison after prosecutors say he threw boiling water on his roommate after a dispute over breakfast sausages.
Prosecutors say 39-year-old Donte Frye was convicted of assault for luring his roommate to the top of basement stairs and throwing a pot of boiling water on his face in April 2013, causing second-degree burns and severe scarring. Prosecutors say Frye thought his roommate had eaten his breakfast sausages.
Frye was sentenced Monday.

Prosecutors say Frye's a "violent repeat offender" who hasn't shown remorse, even mocking the victim of the boiling water attack in a recorded jail call.
