  1. 30 years and eligible for parole at year 7.5? For murder? Another sign of the times. Rest assured though, he will get out of jail as a felon…and end up right back in trouble with the law. It’s what criminals do.

    1. Just so you know he had no criminal background, and there where mitigating circumstances. Ingram initiated the hole situation. The defendant claimed that he flash a gun at him. He went to his truck and dropped something in the truck. The jury didn’t know what. And went back to the defendant and started again and the shooting took place. The reason it was second degree murder is because the defendant was afraid for his life. This was and on going depute. This are some of the facts.
