A life sentence for the cold blooded murder of Tim and Kim Donnelly, blindsided many in the community, including Senior Assistant State's Attorney Joseph Corradino, who lamented that verdict in his remarks to the judge Friday.
"The price to be extracted today is a meager one, which robs the law of vigor and the soul of justice," he said. "The prisoner brutally and unjustly murdered Tim and Kim Donnelly, two living, breathing fellow human beings, to take their property so he could buy drugs and feel good. This was an evil and vicious act at the apex of a short but extreme life of evil and viciousness."
