TAMPA — Moments after Dorice “DeeDee” Moore’s conviction Monday night for fatally shooting the Florida Lottery’s unluckiest winner, a judge called her “cold, calculating and cruel . . . probably the most manipulative person this court has seen.”

Hillsborough Circuit Judge Emmett Battles then sentenced Moore, 40, to life in prison for first-degree murder. The state never sought the death penalty. For the first time in two weeks, the volatile defendant showed little reaction.
