The offender pleaded guilty to second degree murder, attempted murder, and aggravated assault following a horrific, drug-fueled home invasion.
The court accepted a joint submission for a life sentence with parole ineligibility set at 18 years for the murder, along with concurrent sentences of 14 years for attempted murder and 6 years for aggravated assault.
The court weighed the extreme violence and premeditation against the offender's early guilty pleas, deep remorse, and lack of prior criminal record.
