41 Sentencing Hearing Outcome

Friday, May 17, 2002

 

 

 

 

After a 3 year wait, the murderer plead guilty and was sentenced to only 11 years for Voluntary Manslaughter and 1 year for the use of an illegal weapon.  Total sentencing is 12 years minus 80% of 3 years served.  However, we all know David's murderer should have received more time, even the judge said this case should have been tried as SECOND DEGREE MURDER.  At this time we are not sure what prison he resides in.

The support was amazing!  Approximately 30 friends and family members attended in memory of David and nearly 20 spoke in David's memory.  There were also numerous letters written to the judge.  Thank you ALL very much for your support.

This trial went through 4 attorneys for the defendant and 39 continuances.  It is finally over - however, there is not enough time in the world that could be sentenced to replace David's life.  May David rest in peace!   And may that freakish murderer rot in prison only to become someone's bitch for the next 9 years.  A higher power will take care of the rest for us.
