The Stamford Advocate reports 17-year-old Marquest Hall was sentenced Tuesday by a judge who called the March 2015 killing of 52-year-old Antonio Muralles "brutal, senseless and totally unnecessary."
Hall pleaded guilty in March to first-degree manslaughter. He's eligible for parole in 12 years.
Prosecutors say Muralles had just left a Stamford McDonald's with a coffee when he inadvertently bumped into Hall and a friend and spilled some coffee on them.
Hall was 15 at the time but was charged as an adult. The proceedings were held in open court.
Hall did not speak at sentencing. But his lawyer says he's remorseful.

Hmmmm
ReplyDeleteAnger and stupidity. Why should someone carry a knife around? Thank God he's going to be locked up for at least 12 years, its his type that at the age of 18 move around with a gun in their trousers.
ReplyDeleteStellaaaaaa. Jail terms are calculated as day (12 hours) = one day. Night (12 hours) = one day. So the guy will spend 10years (24hours) in jail if he got no pardon before then. So that's 17 + 10 = 27years and not 37years. Oya thank me now
ReplyDeleteIf he was cruel enough to kill someone at age 15, then why not. Let him do the time.
ReplyDeleteToo bad...
ReplyDeleteNa wa! Wasted years!
