His team also asked the judge for leniency because he is a decorated veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps.

In some states, short timers can serve their sentences in county jails (Texas has a "state jail felony" sentence that's 2 years or less, assume parole in a year or less).

His sister played basketball at my alma mater. I met her once when I was back on campus. I can't begin to comprehend how difficult it must be to lose a sibling or other family member to this kind of violence.

Oh, and Merry Christmas.
