ミシシッピ州の27歳の男が、2022年に口論の末に父親を射殺した事件で第2級殺人の罪を認め、禁錮10年の判決を言い渡された。
ジェフリー・ヤング・ジュニア被告は金曜日、第9地区巡回裁判所でトニ・テレット判事に対し罪状を認めた。被告は父親であるジェフリー・ヤング・シニアさんを殺害した罪で、計40年の刑のうち10年を州立刑務所で服役する判決を受けた。
事件が発生したのは2022年7月、ヴィックスバーグのすぐ南に位置するウォーレン郡キャメロット・エステート地区のキャッスル・ロード沿いにある住宅だった。当局によると、事件の前には車のスピーカーをめぐる短い口論があり、その最中にヤング・ジュニア被告が前庭で父親を複数回射撃したという。
法廷での証言では、被害者による過去の虐待の経緯が説明され、家族や目撃者からはアルコールに起因する暴力についての主張がなされた。検察側は、射撃当時、被害者は背を向けており、脅威となる状況ではなかったと指摘した。
ヤング・ジュニア被告は法廷で、父親に追い詰められすぎていたと述べ、後悔の念を表明した。被害者の姉妹は判事に対し、最高刑を科すよう求めていた。
